The duodenum is the first part of the small intestine where most of the digestion occurs, aided by bile and pancreatic juices. 2. **Analyze Statement B**: - Statement B states that "simple substances, the digestive food are absorbed in the jejunum and ileum." - **Explanation**: This statement is also true. The jejunum and ileum are responsible for the absorption of nutrients, and they have structures called villi that increase the surface area for absorption. 3. **Analyze Statement C**: - Statement C claims that "significant digestive activity occurs in the large intestine." - **Explanation**: This statement is false.
