Solution

The correct option is B
Stomach

The bag-like structure that receives food from the food pipe is stomach. The primary function of the stomach is to hold and break down the food and liquid that we consume. It secretes hydrochloric acid and enzymes that help in the breakdown of food. The stomach muscles contract at regular intervals to churn the food and enhance the digestion process.
