Solution

The correct option is B Intestine
Water is absorbed mainly in large intestine, which turns undigested food into a coherent mass of feces. Colon absorbs water from the undigested food. Due to presence of Haustra the water absorbing surface of colon increases and it efficiently increases absorption of water.
