    B

    Explanation:

    The stomach digests food both chemically and mechanically. Food is churned in the stomach to break it into smaller pieces. This is mechanical digestion. Secreted Gastric Juices which comprise pepsinogen, amylases, HCL, and lipases hydrolyze bigger molecules of the food into simpler molecules. If the gastric juices were not adequately secreted then most digestion would be mechanical rather than chemical.
