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.

11111nata11111 [884]

A design of growth in which (occurs only in a different situation), the population frequency of an organism rises gradually originally, in a good acceleration time, later progresses swiftly nearing an exponential growth pace just like the J-shaped curve, however, it later declines (meaning rejects) in a bad acceleration time till at zero growth rate the population maintains. For example, yeast is a tiny fungus, so tiny, a microscope is required to view it, furthermore, it is used to produce bread and alcoholic drinks, displays the traditional S-shaped curve if raised in a test tube. Its maturity levels off as the population deplete the nutrients that are essential for its growth.
