The correct option is C Small intestine
Digestion of some fats can begin in the mouth where lingual lipase breaks down some short chain lipids into diglycerides. However, fats are completely digested in the small intestine.
Fat is completely digested in the small intestine because it gets bile from the liver through gallbladder which is responsible for fat digestion.
Hence Fat is completely digested in the Small intestine.
So, the correct answer is 'Small intestine'.
