The correct response is:

The digestive system breaks down food into absorbable molecules, and the excretory system eliminates metabolic waste products from the blood.

This accurately describes how the two systems work together in the removal of waste: the digestive system processes food and extracts nutrients, while the excretory system helps remove waste products from metabolism and maintains the body's internal environment.
