:
B
The process of taking in food is called ingestion. After ingestion, the food is chewed and broken down in the mouth. This food then passes through a hollow muscular tube-like structure called the oesophagus. Oesophagus shows rhythmic contraction and relaxation called peristalsis which helps to push the food (bolus) in forward direction towards the stomach.
