C Correct answer
Explanation

Ingestion is the process of taking food into the body through the mouth - it's the first step of nutrition. Egestion (option A) is eliminating undigested waste, absorption (option B) is nutrients passing into bloodstream, and digestion (option D) is breaking down food. The sequence is: ingestion → digestion → absorption → egestion.
