Solution

The correct option is C Stomach
It begins in the stomach by pepsin which breaks down the peptide bind and makes protein smaller for easier digestion. Trypsin and chymotrypsin are also enzymes that are created by the pancreas and will cut down proteins into small peptides.

So the correct option is "stomach".
