The correct option is B Mucous membrane
The alimentary canal begins with an anterior opening the mouth, and it opens out posteriorly through the anus. The mouth leads to the buccal cavity or oral cavity. The oral cavity has 32 teeth and a muscular tongue. The buccal cavity is lined with mucous membrane, whose secretions keep mouth moist.
