To determine the meaning of the word "occasional" in the given sentence, we can start by understanding the context. The sentence mentions living on nuts and berries and occasionally eating rabbits. This implies that rabbits are not a regular or frequent part of their diet.

To confirm the meaning, we can break down the answer choices:

a. "Special" does not fit the context because the sentence does not suggest that rabbits are considered special or extraordinary.

b. "Taking place at certain times" could be a possible meaning, as rabbits are mentioned as occurring in the diet intermittently. However, this choice is not the most accurate definition.

c. "Only once in a while" is the best choice. The word "occasional" indicates that rabbits are consumed only infrequently or sporadically, supporting the idea that they are not a regular part of the diet.

Therefore, the correct answer is c. "Only once in a while".
