Mucosa forms rugae in the D) Stomach.

Rugae are large folds in the mucosa of the stomach that allow it to expand when needed, such as after eating a large meal. These folds flatten out as the stomach stretches, increasing its internal volume. This feature is specific to the stomach and is not found in the small intestine, large intestine, or esophagus.
