Solution

The correct option is C stomach
Stomach is a thick walled bag-like structure which receives food from oesophagus (food pipe), digests the food and pushes it into the small intestine.
Liver is reddish brown in colour and is the largest gland in the body, secretes bile juice which helps in the emulsification of fats.
Pancreas is a large, whitish leaf-shaped gland situated below the stomach. It secretes pancreatic juice which is poured into the duodenum through pancreatic duct.
Small intestine is a long coiled tube which receives secretions from both the liver and the pancreas.
