Detailed explanation-1: -The ruminant stomach has 4 compartments: 1) rumen, 2) reticulum, 3) omasum, and 4) abomasum (Van Soest, 1994). Pregastric fermentation and breakdown of feeds occurs in the rumen, reticulum, and omasum, whereas the abomasum is the true stomach and is similar in structure and function to the non-ruminant stomach.
Detailed explanation-2: -Option B: Abomasum is the only chamber that contains different enzymes, their glands, acids required for digestion in the cow, Hence it is known as the True stomach, Therefore, this is the correct option.
Detailed explanation-3: -The abomasum, also known as the maw, rennet-bag, or reed tripe, is the fourth and final stomach compartment in ruminants. It secretes rennin-the artificial form of which is called rennet, and is used in cheese creation. ( Wikipedia)
