The answer is the second one (B): Capsule Endoscopy.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Enterscopy: This is a procedure that involves using an endoscope to examine the small intestine, but it is not the procedure where a pill-sized video capsule is ingested.

  2. Capsule Endoscopy: This is the correct answer. Capsule endoscopy involves swallowing a small, pill-sized video capsule that travels through the digestive tract, capturing images of the small intestine. It is specifically designed for examining the entire small intestine.

  3. Angiography: This is a medical imaging technique used to visualize the inside of blood vessels and organs, particularly to check for blockages or other vascular issues. It does not involve ingesting a capsule.

  4. Double Balloon Endoscopy: This is a type of endoscopy that uses two balloons to help advance the endoscope through the small intestine. It is not the same as capsule endoscopy, which involves swallowing a capsule.

In summary, capsule endoscopy is the procedure that allows for the examination of the entire small intestine by ingesting a pill-sized video capsule.
