Solution

The correct option is D I is true, II is false
By the time food reaches the large intestine, most digestion and absorption have already taken place.
The purpose of the large intestine is to absorb remaining water and salts from the material that has not been digested as food
In the large intestine, villi, microvilli, and crypts are not present, only small intestine contains tiny projections called villi and microvilli, to increase the total area for absorption.

So, the correct option is D.
