Solution

The correct option is C Both A and B
The small intestine is the main site for absorption of nutrients and digestion of fat. Fats are consist of glycerol and fatty acids. They are mostly absorbed in duodenum and jejunum part of the small intestine. Duodenum is the upper portion of the intestine that gives hormonal signal whereas jejunum has microvilli that help in increasing the surface area for the absorption of fats.
So the correct answer is 'Both A and B'.
