The correct answer is that the large intestine is primarily responsible for the absorption of water from indigestible food matter. This is a fundamental aspect of the digestive process, as the large intestine reclaims water before waste is eliminated from the body. Understanding this function is important for recognizing and addressing digestive problems related to hydration and bowel movements.
