      B Large Intestine Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Oesophagus Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Both A and C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The food enters the small intestine from the stomach. This is the longest part of the alimentary canal and is fit into a compact space because of extensive coiling. The length of the small intestine differs in various animals depending on the food they eat. Herbivores eating grass need a longer small intestine to allow the cellulose to be digested. Meat is easier to digest, hence carnivores like tigers have a shorter small intestine. Hence, option A is correct.
