The correct answer is option 3: 2 and 4.

Let`s dissect the options to understand why this is the correct answer.

Option 1 suggests that absorption of water in the human body can be found in the renal tubule in the kidney, hepatic cells in the liver, and the large intestine. While the renal tubule in the kidney is involved in the reabsorption of water, it is mainly responsible for the reabsorption of other substances, such as glucose and electrolytes. The large intestine, on the other hand, primarily absorbs water and electrolytes but not nutrients. The hepatic cells in the liver are responsible for various metabolic functions but not absorption of water. Therefore, option 1 is incorrect.

Option 2 suggests that absorption of water in the human body can be found in the renal tubule in the kidney and the large intestine. This is partially correct, as the renal tubule in the kidney does reabsorb water. However, the large intestine primarily absorbs water and not nutrients. Therefore, option 2 is incorrect.

Option 3 suggests that absorption of water in the human body can be found in hepatic cells in the liver and the pancreatic duct. This is the correct answer. While hepatic cells in the
