A tiger obtains its food mainly by hunting and eating other animals. An animal that depends on animal flesh for food is called a carnivore. Tigers are also predators because they catch and kill prey, but the question asks about food habit, so the more exact category is carnivore. This classification is based on what the animal eats, not on where it lives or how it moves.

Option C is correct. A herbivore eats plants, whereas a tiger does not normally depend on grass, leaves, or other vegetation. A pollinator is an organism that helps transfer pollen between flowers, and an aquatic plant is a plant living in water; neither describes a tiger. Therefore, its hunting behaviour and meat-based diet clearly place it in the carnivore category.
