Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The large intestine's function is mainly to absorb water and minerals from the remaining chyme (digestive contents) after passing through the small intestine. Therefore, option C is the best choice. Option A and D are incorrect as the absorption of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates primarily occurs in the small intestine. Option B is partially correct, as the large intestine does absorb some vitamins and minerals, but its primary function is the absorption of water and minerals.
