What term describes something that can be eaten?

• A. Bivalvia
• B. Gastropoda
• C. Cephalopoda
• D. Edible

Answer: (D)

Edible describes food that can be eaten. It’s an adjective used to indicate that something is safe or suitable for consumption. The other terms are biological classifications of mollusks (two-shelled bivalves, snails and slugs, and octopuses/squid), which tell you what kind of organism something is rather than whether it can be eaten. So the word that best fits the question is edible.
