Solution

The correct option is C Deglutition
Deglutition is the act or process of swallowing. There are three stages involved in this process, oral stage, pharyngeal stage, and esophageal stage.
  • The oral stage is voluntary in nature. The muscles are involved in mastication and the tongue helps in pushing the small ball in the throat region.
  • Thus, the correct answer is option (A)
