Solution

The correct option is D Wider and shorter
The small intestine in adults is a long and narrow tube about 7 meters (23 feet) long. The large intestine is so called because it is wide in diameter. However, it is shorter than the small intestine, only about 1.5 meters (5 feet) long.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
