Solution

Complete digestion of all the nutrients occur in the small intestine so that the nutrients can be absorbed. Liver is responsible for the secretion of bile which directly reaches the duodenum and helps with emulsification of fat. The pancreatic juice secreted in the duodenum contains pancreatic lipase, which helps with the digestion of lipids.
These two chemicals break down the lipids so that it can be converted to fatty acids and glycerol. These absorbable molecules are absorbed into the lymph vessels present under the villi of the small intestine.
Final Answer: Fat is completely digested in the (iii) small intestine.
