Solution

The correct option is C oesophagus, stomach
The digestion of food starts in the mouth. Teeth help in the crushing and grinding of the food. It gets mixed with the saliva in the mouth. These broken food particles are then swallowed into the oesophagus. It travels down the oesophagus by peristaltic movement and enters the stomach.
