Solution

The correct option is B Stomach

Most of the mechanical digestion and some chemical digestion of food happens in the stomach.

The cells in the lining of the stomach releases digestive juices containing pepsin.

Pepsin chemically digests the proteins in food, breaking them down into short chains of amino acids.
