Option 4: "faeces"

Explanation: This option is correct as the text explicitly states that undigested material passes out of the body in the faeces. This aligns perfectly with the context provided, confirming that faeces is the appropriate term for the waste material expelled from the digestive system.

Option 1: "urine"

Option 2: "bloodstream"

Explanation: This option is incorrect as the text indicates that small molecules are absorbed into the bloodstream, but it does not refer to undigested material. The correct term for the passage of undigested material is faeces.

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text does not mention digestive fluids in relation to the passage of undigested material. Instead, it clearly states that undigested material is expelled as faeces.
