Solution

The correct option is B Both A and B
The tongue is a muscular structure that cannot break down food. The food is broken down by the teeth of the upper jaw and lower jaw. Teeth is a hard part of the mouth that has a hard chewing surface covering made up of an enamel which helps in the mastication of food.
So the correct answer is 'Both A and B'.
