Solution

The correct option is A Soft palate
Uvula is the fleshy piece of tissue hanging down over the tongue toward the back of the mouth. It's part of the soft palate. The soft palate helps close the nasal passages during swallowing. The uvula helps push food towards the throat.
So, the correct answer is 'Soft palate'
