    The epiglottis must be pulled down.

    Explanation:

    Epiglottis is a leaf-shaped located about the tracheae or the windpipe in the throat of the humans. The esophagus and the trachea in the body are aligned parallel y to each other in the human body.

    While breathing, the epiglottis does not cover the windpipe and allow the gas to enter but during swallowing of the food, the epiglottis is pulled down and covers the trachea to allow the food to enter the esophagus only and not the windpipe.

    Thus, the selected option is correct.
