knowing that some people like to ride horses
B
knowing that tapirs do not make good pets
C
knowing what pigs look like
D
knowing what kinds of fruit grow on trees

Explanation

The first sentence compares a tapir’s appearance to a pig’s, so understanding that comparison depends on knowing what pigs look like. The other choices do not help explain the sentences: riding horses, keeping tapirs as pets, and identifying fruit are not needed to understand the information given.
