Solution

The correct option is C Ingestion -> Digestion -> Absorption-> Assimilation
Nutrition in humans happens in multiple steps. The process by which the food enters the mouth is called ingestion. Then the food gets broken down by the process of digestion. The digested products are then absorbed by the intestines and supplied to all parts of the body. Once the nutrients are supplied to the cell, assimilation happens.
