Solution

The correct option is A Giraffe
The oesophagus, commonly known as the food pipe, is an organ in vertebrates through which food passes, aided by peristaltic movements, from the pharynx to the stomach. The giraffe has the longest neck of any land mammal, due to which the food pipe is also long.
