Solution

The correct option is B Bile salt
The small intestine is the site for digestion as well as absorption of food. The absorption of the majority of nutrients takes place in the jejunum but iron is absorbed in the duodenum. Vitamin B12 and bile salts are absorbed in the terminal ileum. After the digestion of fat, bile salts is absorbed by the ileum of small intestine and fats are absorbed by the lacteal.
