The question is incomplete,the picture to be studied is omitted.

I have attached the correct picture of the colon with the highlighted portion/region.

The image shows the colon,both the caecum, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon and the sigmoid colon.

A portion of the colon is highlihted in the image and the question is to identify the region of the colon that is highlihted.

So the correct answer to the question is option C

ASCENDING COLON.

The ascending colon is the second portion of the large intestine after the caecum,it's main function is to absorb the remaining water and other key nutrients from the materials that were indigestible and further solidifying it to form stool.

Which region of the colon is highlighted? a) descending b) sigmoid c) ascending d-example-1
