Therefore option C, Duodenum, is factually consistent with the stem, the marked correct index, and the explanation.✅ Correct Answer: C — Duodenum The Duodenum is the first and shortest part of the small intestine that directly connects to the stomach. It receives partially digested food (chyme) from the stomach. Jejunum — Jejunum is the second part of the small intestine (middle segment), not connected to the stomach; it is where most nutrient absorption occurs. Ileum — Ileum is the third and longest part of small intestine; it connects to the large intestine at the ileocecal valve, not to stomach. Caecum — Caecum is the first part of the large intestine; not connected to the stomach at all. 📝 Important Note: Small intestine has 3 parts: Duodenum (1st, 25 cm), Jejunum (2nd, 2.5 m), Ileum (3rd, 3.5 m). Duodenum = 'twelve' in Latin (12 finger-breadths long = 25cm). Most digestion happens in duodenum; most absorption in jejunum and ileum.
