Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Although the small intestine is narrower than the large intestine, it is actually the longest section of your digestive tube, measuring about 22 feet (or seven meters) on average, or three-and-a-half times the length of your body.
Detailed explanation-2: -In large intestine only absorption of water takes place from the undigested food so it is shorter and wider. In small intestine, digestion takes place therefore more surface area is needed for nutrient absorption. Hence, small intestine is narrower and longer.
Detailed explanation-3: -The correct statement is “large intestine is shorter and wider than the small intestine of the human alimentary canal".
