E Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct option. The food enters the rumen, the largest and the first chamber. From here, the food enters reticulum that is the second chamber. From the mouth, the food is pushed directly into the third chamber called omasum. From omasum, the food enters abomasums, where digestive juices are mixed with semi-liquid food.
