Explanation:

Answer 2

Yeah I'd say B, mechanical implies (to me at least) a machine-like action, and/or a repeated action. The teeth are in a sense a machine. They repeatedly chew food until it's safe to be swallowed. I know your question was answered but I felt a little extra information wouldn't hurt. :)
