Solution

The correct option is C II I III
The large intestine basically has 3 jobs:
Absorbs ions and nutrients: The main function of the large intestine is to absorb ions and nutrients back to the body.
Absorbs water: A healthy colon absorbs 80% of the water that passes through it.
Defecation: When water is absorbed, the fecal matter becomes dry. It is then ejected out through anus by reflex action. This process is called defecation.
