You wouldn’t be able to go to the bathroom.

D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The correct timing of material through the large intestine is critical for the formation of healthy stool. If material is pushed through too quickly, not enough water is absorbed and the stool is left with a high water content, which results in diarrhea.

Detailed explanation-2: -The colon’s job is to dehydrate what’s left of the food and form it into stool. It does this by slowly absorbing water and electrolytes as its muscle system moves the waste along.

Detailed explanation-3: -If you don’t have enough water in your body already, the large intestine soaks up water from your food waste. This makes you have hard stools that are difficult to pass. There are other causes of chronic constipation too, including what you eat, traveling, medicines, irritable bowel syndrome, and pregnancy.
