Perception
Indian logic recognises several pramanas or means of valid knowledge: pratyaksha (perception), anumana (inference), upamana (comparison), shabda (testimony), arthapatti (postulation or implication) and anupalabdhi (non-apprehension).
The statement 'Horse is a herbivorous animal' reports a fact known by directly observing horses eating grass and plants. Knowledge produced by the contact of the senses with their object is pratyaksha, so the statement is an example of perception.
Inference derives knowledge from a sign through an invariable relation, comparison gives knowledge of a thing through its similarity to something known, and implication supposes a fact to explain another; none is needed to state an observed eating habit.
Perception option is correct.
