Solution

The correct option is C internal nares
The openings of the nasal cavity into the pharynx is called internal nares. The uvula closes the internal nares and prevents the entry of the food into the nasal cavity. Eustachian tube is a narrow tube that connects the throat to the middle ear and helps to equalize the pressure. Larynx is the voice box. The food pipe is also known as gullet.
