Solution
The correct option is C oesophagus, stomach
The digestion of food starts in the mouth. The teeth and tongue together grind and mix the food with the saliva. Food particles are broken down into smaller particles and then swallowed into the oesophagus. The swallowed food travels down the oesophagus (food pipe) by peristaltic movement to enter the stomach via the oesophageal sphincter.
