Indigestion and constipation are two different conditions related to digestion. Indigestion occurs when the food is not properly digested, leading to discomfort and pain in the upper abdomen, bloating, and gas. On the other hand,

Option b is the correct answer because  constipation occurs when there is difficulty in passing stools or there are infrequent bowel movements. In constipation, the faeces are retained within the colon, leading to hard and dry stools, which are difficult to pass.

Option (a) is incorrect because faeces are not retained within the ileum. The ileum is the last part of the small intestine, and it absorbs nutrients from the food.

Option (c) is incorrect because constipation is not related to the proper digestion of food, but rather the elimination of waste from the body.

Option (d) is incorrect because only option (b) correctly distinguishes between indigestion and constipation.
