Solution

The correct option is C ileum
Ileum is the part of small intestine. Its mucosa is raised into numerous microscopic projections called the villi. The villi contain a minute blind ended lymph vessel lacteals, which help in the absorption of fats. From the lacteals, the lipoprotein chylomicrons are carried into the blood stream directly via thoracic lymphatic duct.
