The correct answer is: smooth movement of food down the intestine
Goblet cells, found in the intestinal mucosal epithelium, secrete mucus. the mucus lubricates the food for an easy passage. So, if for some reason, goblet cells become non-functional, it will adversely affect the smooth movement of food down the intestine.
