Answer:

d. an onblique muscle layer

Step-by-step explanation:

The alimentary canal has four main layers:

Mucosa (innermost layer which surrounds the lumen), submucosa (connective tissue with blood vessels, lymphatics, and nerves), muscular layer, serosa ( outermost layer of connective tissue).

Muscular layer is subdivided into:

• the inner- arranged in circular rings, prevents food from travelling backward

• outer layer- arranged longitudinally, shortens the tract.

The stomach has an extra layer called inner oblique muscular layer (churning function).
