Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Fatty acids and glycerol being insoluble cannot be absorbed into the
blood. They form small droplets called micelles that move into the intestinal mucosa of the gut and then form protein-coated fat globules called chylomicrons. These are transported into the lymph vessels (lacteals) in the villi. Hence, micelles formed in the lumen of the gut helps in the absorption of fatty acids.
So, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion".
