The assertion that the primary function of the large intestine in the process of digestion is to absorb water and electrolytes is true. The large intestine receives the chyme from the small intestine, which is mostly liquid, and absorbs the remaining water and electrolytes to form feces.
The reason that the large intestine reabsorbs the water and electrolytes from the chyme, which is the partially digested food that enters the large intestine, is also true and provides the correct explanation for the assertion. The chyme that enters the large intestine is mostly liquid and contains water, electrolytes, and some undigested food particles. The large intestine absorbs the remaining water and electrolytes from the chyme, which helps to concentrate the feces and form solid waste. This is important for maintaining the body's fluid balance and preventing dehydration.
Therefore, Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is a correct explanation of Assertion.Hence, the correct answer is option 1
