Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Fatty acids and glycerols being insoluble, cannot be transported into the blood. They are emulsified by the bile juice which converts it into micelles and later on they convert it into chylomicrons which are coated by protein and absorb and transported by lymph vessels and release them into the bloodstream.
So the correct option is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion'
