Solution

The correct option is D Peyer's patches and villi
The small intestine is divided into 3 sections, namely duodenum, jejunum and ileum. Ilelum is the last section of small intestine. It absorbs vitamin B12, bile salts, and substances that are not absorbed by the jejunum. The wall of the ileum consists of many folds. Each fold has many finger-like papillary luminal projections called as villi on its surface. These villi increases the survae area of the intestine more easy absorption. The ileum is also characterized by the presence of Peyer's patches. These are small masses of lymphatic tissue. They monitor the population of intestinal bacteria and also prevent the growth of pathogenic bacteria in the intestines. Brunner's gland is present in the duodenum.
So, the correct answer is 'Peyer's patches and villi.'
