Solution

The correct option is C
large intestine

The large intestine is the last part of the digestive system in vertebrates. Water is absorbed here and the remaining waste material is stored as faeces before being removed by egestion or defecation. The oesophagus, commonly known as the food pipe or gullet (gut), is an organ in vertebrates through which food passes, aided by peristaltic contractions, from the pharynx to the stomach. The main function of the small intestine is the absorption of nutrients and minerals from food.
