Solution

The correct option is C 7.0 metres
The small intestine is the most important part of the digestive system where digestion and absorption of nutrients take place. 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 as compared to the small intestine. The small intestine can be divided into 3 major regions such as duodenum, jejunum, and ileum.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
