Evidence boundary

This is the single-best-answer interpretation of OpenStax Anatomy and Physiology 2e, Chapter 23 Review Question 9, with all four options retained. The textbook contrasts the esophagus with abdominal digestive organs at an introductory level. Actual outer coverings depend on location and peritoneal exposure; this answer does not claim uniform serosa over every intestinal surface or complete absence of serosa from the distal esophagus.
