II is the stomach. Cellulose is not broken down in the stomach of non ruminants. It is rather broken down in the 'caecum' of hindgut fermenters (which are non ruminant animals that possess caecum and eat forage) by microorganisms inhabiting it. The correct answer therefore is C.
N.B. This is the rabbit's digestive system illustrated.
