Solution

The correct option is D Galactose
Absorption of glucose and galactose occur through active transport. Sodium pump on the cell membrane helps in its active transport. Fructose is absorbed by facilitated diffusion. Glucose, galactose, and fructose are absorbed into the blood capillaries. Galactose is the most rapidly transported monosaccharide.

So, the correct option is 'Galactose'.
