Correct Answer
C. Leaves

Explanation
Caterpillars usually eat leaves as their primary source of food. Leaves provide the necessary nutrients and energy for their growth and development. They have specialized mouthparts that allow them to chew and consume the leaf material. While some caterpillars may consume fruits or ants occasionally, leaves are the main component of their diet. Leaves also provide protection for caterpillars, as they can blend in with the foliage and avoid predators.
