Answer
Soln:
The answer is (a) Oesophagus, Large Intestine, Rectum
Explanation:
Oesophagus pushes the food downwards, and it is not involved in any digestive functions.
The large intestine absorbs water and some salts from the undigested food material, and it is not involved in the digestion process.
In the rectum, the remaining waste passes and remains there as semi-solid faeces. It is not involved in any digestive function.
