Solution

The correct option is A
Smooth muscle

The stomach digests food physically by crushing the foodstuff and chemically by breaking it into simpler molecules. The internal walls of the stomach are lined by epithelial tissue, muscular tissue, connective tissue and nervous tissue. A layer of smooth muscles helps the stomach to contracts which helps in the crushing of food.
