Dear Student,
1. Ingestion is the process of intake of any substance or food by an organism through mouth into the gastroinstestinal tract. Solid food particles are ingested which are then acted upon by enzymes and digested. The pseudopodium engulfs the food particles and forms a food vacuole around the food particle. The food is then broken down to simpler particles inside the food vacuole.
2. Digestion: It is the process of breaking down food into simpler substances. Complex components of food such as carbohydrates are broken down into simpler substances and are then utilized by the body. This process of breaking down of complex substances into simpler substances is known as digestion.

3. Absorption: The process of absorption takes place in the small intestine. Here, the digested food is absorbed in the blood through the villi, which are sac-like structures.
4.Assimilation: The food absorbed by blood is transported to various parts of the body by blood vessels. This process is known as assimilation.
5. Egestion: The process of removing the undigested food material from the body through the anus is known as egestion.
The process of digestion includes both mechanical and chemical digestion.
Hence, option A is correct.
