Solution

The correct option is A Swallowing
Snakes are carnivores. They eat their food by mechanism of swallowing. it is the process that allows for a substance to pass from the mouth, to the pharynx and into esophagus. Swallowing is done by raking with the lower jaw until the prey is far enough back to be helped down by body undulations.
So, the correct answer is 'Swallowing'.
