Solution
The correct option is B Large intestine The skin has sweat glands that excrete perspiration (salt, water, and nitrogenous wastes) through its pores.
Lungs help in removing carbon dioxide from the body which is the metabolic waste during respiration.
Liver excretes bile, which contains bile pigments.
Kidney helps in removing nitrogenous wastes like urine, formed during excretion. While large intestine excretes the waste formed in the small intestine but itself does not take park in digestion. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
