General KnowledgeBiology

A1, 2 and 3
B1 and 3 only
C2 and 4
D3 only

Explanation

The renal tubules reabsorb roughly 99% of the water filtered by the glomeruli back into the blood, and the large intestine absorbs water from undigested residue, which is what solidifies the faeces — so statements 1 and 3 are correct. Hepatic cells carry out metabolism of nutrients and detoxification but do not absorb water, and the pancreatic duct merely conveys pancreatic juice to the duodenum. Hence 1 and 3 only.
