Solution

The correct option is A Help in digestion of food
The function of the tongue is to help in the act of swallowing and help in mixing saliva with the food. It is a muscular organ in the mouth. It is vital for chewing and swallowing food, as well as for speech. It consists of eight interwoven, striated muscles that can move in any direction, making it quite flexible. So, the correct answer is option C.
