Answer»

Right OPTION is (a) Mouth→Pharynx→Esophagus→Gizzard

To explain I would SAY: Food is ingested by the earthworm through the mouth. The mouth part OPENS up into the muscular pharynx. This is followed by a narrow esophagus followed by the gizzard where food is broken down by the PROCESS of GRINDING.
