if left for me they r correct o den

The correct answer is:

B. Large intestine, appendix, and rectum

However, this needs clarification because:

The alimentary canal (also called the gastrointestinal tract) includes the organs through which food directly passes. These are:

Mouth

Pharynx

Oesophagus

Stomach

Small intestine

Large intestine

Rectum

Anus


So, Option B includes parts of the alimentary canal (large intestine, appendix [a small part of the large intestine], and rectum).

Let’s briefly look at the other options:

A: Salivary glands and tongue are accessory organs; pharynx is part of the alimentary canal.

C: Liver and gallbladder are accessory organs.

D: Pancreas is an accessory organ; the other two (oesophagus and small intestine) are part of the canal.


So Option B is the best fit, although not the complete list.
