B.Absorption of digested food takes place in large intestine.
C.Assimilation of food takes place in large intestine.
D.Large intestine has finger like projection called villi.
Explanation
The large intestine is shorter (about 1.5 m) but wider than the small intestine (about 7.5 m, narrower). Absorption of digested food and assimilation primarily takes place in the small intestine, not the large intestine. Villi (finger-like projections) are present in the small intestine, not the large intestine. The large intestine mainly absorbs water and salts.
