A. The pizza is churned, mixing it with digestive enzymes and gastric acid.

In the stomach, the pizza is mixed and broken down by muscular contractions, combining it with gastric juices that contain digestive enzymes and hydrochloric acid, aiding in the digestion of proteins and making the food more liquid for further digestion in the intestines.
