• D. None of the above.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

It helps in proper digestion of food.

Chewing is an important step in digestion and further absorption of vital nutrients. The action of chewing helps to break down our food mechanically into a finer texture, thus increasing the surface area for saliva to do its work.

So the correct option is C.
