Answer:

The options needed to complete the question

A. Dogs

B. Cats

C. Primates

D. Rabbits and rodents

The ANSWER is D.

D. Rabbits and rodents

Explanation:

Rabbits and rodents find it extremely difficult to vomit, indicating why pre-anesthetic fasting is not necessary. A short fast is important in permitting the patient to ingest any food particles in the oral cavity so as to reduce the chances of aspiration or problem of food being moved to the trachea at intubation period.
