The right answer is A. large intestine.

The large intestine is the last segment of the digestive tract. It follows the small intestine and extends from the ileocecal valve to the "a-n-u-s". In anatomy, it is divided into two parts: the colon and the rectum (sometimes the a-n-a-l canal).

In medicine, this term is sometimes considered synonymous with "colon".
