If the large intestine does not absorb enough water which result is most suitable?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Faeces will remain more watery
The large intestine absorbs a substantial amount of water and electrolytes from the undigested residue. This process helps convert the residue into more solid faeces. If water absorption is insufficient, excess water remains in the intestinal contents, so the faeces stay loose or watery and may lead to diarrhoea. Thus option A is correct; the other choices describe unrelated processes or plant transport.
