Correct option is (d) Pelican

Filter feeding, in zoology, a form of food procurement in which food particles or small organisms are randomly strained from water.

Oysters like other shellfish have unique filter-feeding ability, in the sense it takes in water through its gills, which then filters it for nutrients like suspended fragments of plankton, while automatically draining out the rest of the water.
