B. digestive, nervous, and endocrine
C. excretory, circulatory, and nervous
D. digestive, circulatory, and excretory

Answer 1

D. digestive, circulatory, and excretory

Step-by-step explanation:

The breakdown of food happens at the "digestive system." This starts with the chewing of food (mastication) until the food is broken down into small bits of pieces. The food then goes to the tracheal tube where it continuously moves through the action of peristalsis. It is then absorbed by the body. Some of these goes into the "circulatory system" through the small intestine. Those which were not absorbed are excreted or removed from the body through the large intestine. This is the role of the "excretory system."

So this means that there are only three systems involved: digestive system, circulatory system and excretory system.
