Answer:

Option E, Smooth muscle contractions that move food along the esophagus.

Peristalsis is an involuntary movement of muscles (smooth and longitudinal) in the digestive tract to move the food from Oseophagus to other hollow tubes and stomach.

These Peristaltic waves  are strong wave like smooth muscle movement in the esophagus, stomach, and intestines as the bolus of food is swallowed to process food in different digestive tract.

Hence, option E is correct
