Solution

The correct option is A amino acids and glucose
Na⁺ ions facilitates the absorption of glucose and amino acids. Secondary active transport is one of the two main types –
cotransport (e.g. glucose and some amino acids along with inward pushing of Na⁺) and counter transport (Ca ²⁺ and H⁺import outwardly as excess Na⁺ passes inwardly).
