The right answer is B) Specialized tissues come together to create the stomach, which is an organ.

* Cells linked to each other form a set called tissue. The cells composing a tissue are not all identical, but they work together to provide a specific function.

* Each organ is a recognizable structure (eg, heart, lungs, liver, eyes, stomach) that provides a specific function. An organ consists of different types of tissues and, therefore, different types of cells.

The stomach is a thoraco-abdominal organ, located in the abdomen and in contact with the chest wall.

The stomach is a dilated segment of the digestive tract located between the esophagus and the duodenum. Its main function is to turn the food bolus into a mixture called gastric chyme.

The stomach is composed of two parts, two sides (anterior and posterior), two edges (small and large curvature) and two orifices (the cardia, upper orifice, and the pylorus, lower orifice).
