Solution

The correct option is D

Perspiration


Food is taken in by the organism by the process of ingestion. The complex food is then broken down into simpler molecules in the process of digestion. These broken down molecules are taken up by the body through the process of absorption. This absorbed food is incorporated into the living cells by assimilation. The remaining undigested food is removed from the body by egestion.
