Solution

The correct option is B $\begin{matrix} M o u t h ↓ F o o d p i p e ↓ S t o m a c h ↓ S m a l l i n t e s t i n e \end{matrix}$
Food once chewed in the mouth passes down to the pharynx after swallowing. From the pharynx it passes through the food pipe or oesophagus to the stomach. Peristaltic contractions in the esophagus help in pushing the food from pharynx to the stomach. Chyme (semi-fluid partly digested food) then enters the small intestine from the stomach through the pyloric sphincter.
So, option B is the correct answer.
