B Correct answer
Explanation

Most of the nutrients in food are absorbed by the small intestine and carried to other parts of the body. The walls of the intestine contain tiny blood vessels that transport nutrients first to the liver where any toxins are removed before the nutrients are distributed throughout the rest of the body. On an average, the food spends 4-8 hours in the small intestine.
