Answer»

The correct choice is (b) Faeces in the rectum

For explanation I would say: The DIGESTIVE wastes, solidified into coherent faeces in the rectum initiate a neural reflex causing an urge or desire for its REMOVAL. Defaecation is a voluntary process and is CARRIED out by MASS peristaltic movements.
