Solution
The correct option is B Chyme Chyme is the name given to the partially digested food, formed in the stomach and enters into the small intestine(duodenum) via the pyloric valve. Chyme, also known as chymus has the consistency of oatmeal(semisolid). Chyme is a thick semisolid mass of partially digested food and digestive secretions during the digestion process. Hence, partially digested semisolid food in the stomach is chyme.
