What is the name of the structure that prevents food from entering the airway?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The structure that prevents food from entering the airway is the epiglottis. The epiglottis is a flap of cartilage located behind the tongue at the top of the larynx. During swallowing, the epiglottis covers the opening of the trachea, directing food and liquids to the esophagus instead of entering the airway. This mechanism ensures that food safely passes into the digestive system, avoiding any blockage of the respiratory pathway.
