Solution

The correct option is B Stomach
Food is chewed in the mouth and converted into bolus with the help of saliva. This bolus passes through the oesophagus and pharynx by peristaltic movement and reaches the stomach. The action of the gastric juice and churning of food in the stomach converts the bolus into a semi digested food called chyme. Later the chyme moves to the intestine slowly through the pylorus.
