Answer 2

Option (B) i.e. A disorder in absorption of water by the large intestine is correct.

This inability of large intestine to absorb the food fully is called Malabsorption.

Option (A) can not be correct because the work of Large Intestine is to absorb water and food and not to excrete water. So, saying that ''Large Intestine is unable to excrete (or secrete) water" would be out of the box.

Option (C) can not be correct because large intestine does not produce any digestive enzymes of its own. So saying that "Large Intestine fails to release digestive enzymes" would not be correct.
