Solution

The correct option is C
Large intestine

Large intestine is the last part of the digestive system in vertebrates. Water and salts left after absorption in small intestine, are absorbed here and the remaining waste materials are stored as faeces before being removed by defecation. Food passes through the food pipe, stomach is a muscular bag that helps in the storage of food and oesophagus is a muscular tube that connects pharynx with the stomach.
