Solution

The correct option is A Mouth, stomach, small intestine, colon
The food (apple) first comes in the mouth. It moves to stomach, small intestine and then moves to large intestine. The undigested food goes to colon, rectum and passes out from the body through anus. Hence, the correct path is:

Mouth $\to$ stomach $\to$ small intestine $\to$ colon
