B

C

D
mouth
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The walls of the small intestine absorb water and the digested nutrients into your bloodstream. As peristalsis continues, the waste products of the digestive process move into the large intestine.

Detailed explanation-2: -The large intestine is much broader than the small intestine and takes a much straighter path through your belly, or abdomen. The purpose of the large intestine is to absorb water and salts from the material that has not been digested as food, and get rid of any waste products left over.

Detailed explanation-3: -The large intestine functions to absorb any excess water from the material it receives from the small intestine. This also involves the collection of electrolytes, which move with water. Thus, the large intestine works to preserve and absorb water and electrolytes that were not absorbed by previous digestive organs.
