• A. a - i, b - iii, c - ii
• B. a - ii, b - iii, c - i
• C. a - ii, b - i, c - iii

Answer 1

The correct option is D a - iii, b - i, c - ii

Foregut consists of
• Mouth which crushes the food.
• Oesophagus which carries the food into the crop.
• Crop which stores the food temporarily.
• Gizzard which is the part that grinds the food.
Midgut contains certain enzymes and thus it is the major site of chemical digestion.
Hindgut is concerned with reabsorption of water and excretion of undigested food.
