Solution

The correct option is B
Small intestine: a passage for food and liquid to the large intestine

It is true that food from the small intestine passes onto the large intestine. But this is not the main function of the small intestine. The main function of the small intestine is to completely digest food and then absorb the digested food. The inner lining of the small intestine contains a large number of tiny finger-like projections called villi. These provide a large surface area for efficient absorption of food.
