Digestive System

The digestive tract is a set of organs whose main function is to digest food and absorb its nutrients and water.

In this way, the food goes through a specific order so that it can be digested and absorbed correctly, the digestive tract begins in the mouth and ends in the anus.

Therefore, we can conclude that the correct order is: it starts with the mouth, and goes to the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anus.

So the alternative "B" is the answer.
