B: The small intestine breaks down food into a thin mixture containing nutrients, while the large intestine absorbs water from the food mixture and turns it into solid waste.

Step-by-step explanation:

Small intestine and large intestine are the important organs of digestive system in the human body. The small intestine functions by absorbing the nutrients of the simpler form of food. After absorbing the nutrients, the residue left is passed to the large intestine. The large intestine absorbs the water and further helps in eliminating the feces. It do not produces any enzyme to break the food unlike the small intestine. The process of digestion is completed by the small intestine.
