Solution

The correct option is D Pharynx
The pharynx connects the mouth to the oesophagus and the larynx in the throat. At the end of the pharynx, a flap-like structure called epiglottis is present. The flap moves to one side for food (towards the oesophagus) and the other side as one breathes (towards the larynx).
