Expert Solution

Step 1

Let's see which statements are wrong to identify the correct answer:-

Option A is Incorrect because Mechanical digestion begins in your mouth with chewing, then moves to churn in the stomach and segmentation in the small intestine. Peristalsis is also part of mechanical digestion, thus mechanical digestion is a common function of many body parts then we can conclude that it is not unique for the stomach.

Option C is Incorrect because the majority of fat digestion happens once it reaches the small intestine.

Option D is Incorrect because the stomach is a J-shaped organ in the upper belly (abdomen).
