O Levels Biology (5090)•5090/12/M/J/19

Explanation
Matching alimentary canal parts by relative lengths
Steps:
- Recall standard lengths: duodenum ≈25 cm (shortest), colon ≈150 cm (medium), ileum ≈350 cm (longest).
- Assume shown lengths follow descending order: longest, medium, shortest.
- Assign longest to ileum, medium to colon, shortest to duodenum.
- Match to option listing ileum, colon, duodenum.
Why C is correct:
- C orders parts from longest (ileum) to shortest (duodenum), aligning with anatomical measurements.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Begins with shortest (duodenum), mismatches descending order.
- B: Starts with medium (colon) before longest (ileum), incorrect sequence.
- D: Places shortest (duodenum) before medium (colon), disrupts length order.
Final answer: C
