Answer: Muscularis

Step-by-step explanation:

The muscularis is responsible for the segmental contractions and peristaltic movements in the body. It is responsible for gut movement such as peristalsis. For example, when you are swallowing something, the muscularis tissue contracts to help push down the food into the stomach.

Hope this helps! Good luck! <3
