Solution

The correct option is A Pharynx
The pharynx is part of the digestive system as well as the respiratory system because it carries both food and air. At the bottom of the pharynx, this pathway divides in two, one for food (the oesophagus, which leads to the stomach) and the other for air.
So, the correct option is 'Pharynx'.
