Solution

The correct option is B Large intestine
Absorption is the process in which the nutrients from the digested food is taken up by the cells. Most of the nutrient absorption takes place in the small intestine through the cells having villi which increase the surface area for absorption. Water, minerals and there are certain drugs which are absorbed in the large intestine. This is one of the primary function of the large intestine.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
