The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Chyme**: Chyme is the semi-fluid mass of partly digested food that is formed in the stomach after food has been mixed with gastric juices. 2. **Role of Gastric Juices**: When food enters the stomach, gastric glands secrete gastric juices. These juices contain hydrochloric acid and digestive enzymes that help break down food. 3. **Mixing Process**: The food is mixed with these gastric juices through the muscular movements of the stomach wall, which churns the food and helps in digestion. 4. **Formation of Chyme**: As a result of this mixing and digestion, the food transforms into a thick, acidic semi-fluid known as chyme. 5. **Destination of Chyme**: Once formed, chyme is ready to enter the next part of the digestive system, which is the small intestine (specifically the duodenum). 6. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that chyme is the food that is ready to enter the duodenum for further digestion and absorption. **Final Answer**: Chyme is the food which is ready to enter the duodenum (Option C). ---
