The digestive system includes the entire "tube." Meaning from the mouth to the anus.
Lets take a look at the other answers:
B. Digestion: clearly self-explanatory
C. Ingestion: The act or process of taking food and other substances into the animal body. This is down by the mouth, part of the GI (digestive system)
D. Removal of wastes: Waste is stored in the rectum and then eliminated by the anus, again this is part of the tube (digestive system)
E. Absorption of nutrients: Mainly in duodenum, smaller amount in the jejunum and Vitamin K and water are actually absorbed in the large bowel. This is part of the tube, consequently it is part of the digestive system.
