Solution
The correct option is C Active transport The monosaccharides glucose and galactose are transported into the epithelial cells by common protein carriers via secondary active transport I.e by co-transport with sodium ions. The monosaccharides leave these cells via facilitated diffusion and enter the capillaries through intercellular clefts.
