Solution

The correct option is B Stomach
Digestion happens in the mouth, in the stomach and also in the intestine. Liver also helps in digestion by releasing the digestive juices in the stomach and intestine, but digestion does not happen there. But gastric juices (or acids) are present in the stomach. If there is excess acid in the stomach, it causes a heartburning sensation which is commonly known as acidity.
