Assimilation and Egestion -

 
  • The absorbed substances finally reach the tissues which utilise them for their activities.
  • This process is called assimilation.
  • The digestive wastes, solidified into coherent faeces in the rectum initiate a neural reflex causing an urge or desire for its removal. 
  • The egestion of faeces to the outside through the anal opening (defaecation) is a voluntary process and is carried out by a mass peristaltic movement.

The egestion of faeces to the outside through the anal opening is called defaecation. Hence, the correct answer is option d.
