The muscularis is responsible for peristalsis, which is the movement of food through the digestive tract. The other choices are incorrect. The mucosa is the innermost layer of the digestive tract and is responsible for absorption. The serosa is the outermost layer of the digestive tract and protects and supports the structure. The submucosa is the layer between the mucosa and the muscularis and contains blood vessels, nerves, and glands.
