Answer 1

Hint Achalasia is the serious condition that makes it difficult for food and liquid pass from the swallowing due to the failure of lower esophageal sphincter is a molecular ring that closes off the esophagus from the stomach.

Complete Answer
Achalasia is a rare disorders that makes it difficult for food and liquid to pass from the swallowing tube connecting your mouth and stomach (esophagus ) into your stomach and it occurs when nerves in the esophagus became damage.as the result, the esophagus becomes paralyzed and lasted over time and eventually loses the ability to squeeze food down into the stomach.
Failure of the pyloric sphincter leads to pyloric stenosis. It is an uncommon condition in infants that blocks the food from entering into the small intestine.
Ileocecal valves prevent the backward movement material when it functions properly but when this valve fails to open then it causes the waste material to stay too long in the small intestine.

Achalasia is a condition in which the esophagus is damaged therefore the correct option is (B) failure of relaxation of gastrointestinal (cardiac) sphincter.

Note:- There is no cure for achalasia cardia. Once the esophagus is paralyzed, the muscle cannot work properly again. But symptoms can usually be managed with endoscopy ,minimally invasive therapy or surgery. Achalasia is an autoimmune disease, it can be caused due to many reasons.
