what happens in the large intestine?

b. salivary amylase breaks down the food.

d. large proteins are broken into smaller proteins.

Explanation:

The large intestine's main function is water absorption. Salivary amylase acts in the mouth (not large intestine). Protein breakdown (options C and D) mainly occurs in the stomach and small intestine. So, water absorption (A) is correct for the large intestine.
