Solution

The correct option is D Major absorption of glucose and amino acid
The functions of the large intestine includes absorption of water and minerals from the digested food and elimination of the solid wastes. However, moderate quantities of vitamin K and vitamin B complex are manufactured by symbiotic bacteria present in the large intestine. These vitamins are absorbed here in the large intestine. The final digestion occurs in the small intestine. No significant digestive activity is observed in the large intestine. Major absorption of glucose and amino acid occurs in the small intestine and not in large intestine.
