Correct Answer: a


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

The article "a" is used before the noun "cow" in the sentence "like a cow" to indicate that we are referring to any cow in general rather than a specific cow.

In this context, the comparison being made is not about a particular cow but about the general behaviour or process that cows follow in eating and digesting their food.
