Explanation:

The digestive process begins when food enters the mouth. Chewing (mastication) is part of the initial stage in the mouth, which is when the digestive process starts. Swallowing moves food to the next stage (esophagus). Ten minutes after eating is not the start. The very first contact is when food enters the mouth.

A. When food enters your mouth
