Solution
The correct option is C Both are correct
Various nutrients like amino acids, monosaccharides like glucose, electrolytes are absorbed into the blood capillaries by active absorption.
Fatty acids and glycerol being insoluble in water, cannot be absorbed directly into the blood. They are re-formed into very small protein coated fat globule called the chylomicrons which are transported into the lymph vessels.
