Answer:

C. The organs in an organ system work together to perform a specific function.

Step-by-step explanation:

The definition of an organ system is a "group of organs that work together as a biological system to perform one or more functions". Each organ in a system does a different job in order to achieve the same goal. For example, the stomach breaks down food, and the intestines gather nutrients but the goal of both is to digest food.
