Food will be broken down into chyme and passed through the pyloric sphincter. While the food has been moving down the esophagus via persitalis, the food breaks down into chyme (not pepsin) and than passes through the pyloric sphincter. Hope this helps.

b. Food will be broken down into chyme and passed through the pyloric sphincter. - Food enters the stomach from the esophagus. Hope it helps!
