a. mouth

b. pancreas

c. small intestine

d. large intestine

Answer:

d. large intestine

Explanation:

Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that is found in vegetables, fruits and whole grains. Most of the fibers are digested in the large intestine. Fiber increases the content of the intestine which leads to the blood sugar level to rise less strongly after you eat and it increases the intestinal movements. When the fiber enters the large intestine, the intestinal flora process its compounds. According to this, the answer is that the digestion of the majority of fibers is expected to take place in the large intestine.
