Solution

The correct option is B
Absorbing water and bile salts

The major function of the large intestine is to absorb water, minerals and salts from the remaining indigestible food matter. It also forms and stores the faeces which are transmitted as the waste material from the body to the excretory system which takes care of disposing it from our body.
