Final Answer : A, Explanation :  Absorption is the movement of nutrient molecules from the digestive chamber (e.g. small intestine) into the body's internal environment (e.g. bloodstream). Excretion is the opposite process, where waste products are removed from the body. Mechanical and chemical digestion are processes that break down food into smaller molecules, while ingestion is the act of taking in food.
