D Correct answer
Explanation

The verb "feed" is idiomatically followed by the preposition "on" when referring to the food an animal eats (e.g., "feed on any type of food"). Therefore, the preposition "by" is incorrect in this context and must be replaced. The other prepositions ("on the land", "in the sea", "adapted to") are all grammatically correct.
