Solution

The correct option is A

Statement -1: True, Statement –2: True


Two types of changes occur with the food within the mouth. First is physical change and the other is chemical change. The physical change occurs while chewing the food (big lump of food is broken into smaller pieces) and the chemical change is marked by the action of saliva on food. Since a chemical change occurs, digestion of food can be said to start in the mouth.
