Answer 1

The correct response is: The pizza is churned, mixing it with digestive enzymes and gastric acid.

In your stomach, the pizza undergoes mechanical and chemical digestion. It is churned and mixed with gastric juices, which include enzymes and hydrochloric acid, breaking down the food into a semi-liquid substance called chyme.
