Correct Answer: (D) leaving the stomach: protein, amino acids, and water; leaving the small intestine: water.

Explanation:

Egg white contains only protein. It does not contain fat so options B and C can be eliminated.

In the stomach, the protein is digested into amino acids. So remaining undigested protein, amino acids and water will be found leaving the stomach.

In the small intestine, amino acids are absorbed and only water remained for leaving from it.
