The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Jaundice is a disorder in which skin and eyes turn yellow due to the deposition of bile pigment. This happens when bile made in the liver fails to reach the intestine due to obstruction of the bile duct. As a result, the bile is absorbed into the blood instead of going to the duodenum and cause yellowing of eyes and skin.

Digestion and Absorption - Alimentary Canal

This process involves the usage of a variety of digestive fluids and enzymes, including saliva, mucus, bile and hydrochloric acid, among others.

The alimentary canal is mainly referred to as the pathway by which food enters our body and moves out through the anus after digestion. It is a tube-like structure that starts from the mouth and ends in the anus. The alimentary canal plays a primary role in human digestion and is also termed as the digestive tract.

Peristalsis is a series of wave-like muscle contractions that move food through the digestive tract.
