Stomach
B

C
Small intestine
D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Patients with voluminous diarrhea often have disease of the upper intestinal tract-usually secondary to either an osmotic or secretory process. Patients with small-volume diarrhea often have disease in their left colon or rectum, often an inflammatory process.

Detailed explanation-2: -The most common cause of diarrhea is a virus that infects your bowel (“viral gastroenteritis”). The infection usually lasts a couple of days and is sometimes called “intestinal flu.” Other possible causes of diarrhea can include: Infection by bacteria.

Detailed explanation-3: -The most common cause of diarrhea is the stomach flu (viral gastroenteritis). This mild viral infection most often goes away on its own within a few days. Eating or drinking food or water that contains certain types of bacteria or parasites can also lead to diarrhea. This problem may be called food poisoning.

Detailed explanation-4: -Essential salts and fluids, as well as nutrients from the food that you eat, end up being passed through the colon too quickly. With less fluid being absorbed by the body, the result is loose or watery stools, which is more commonly known as diarrhea.
