Answer 1

The correct option is C

mouth, small intestine

• Digestion begins in the mouth or buccal cavity.
• The salivary gland present in the buccal cavity helps to digest the starch present in our food.
• The partially digested food from the buccal cavity is carried to the stomach via oesophagus.
• From the stomach food is passed to the small intestine, which is the site for the complete digestion.
