Solution
The correct option is C small intestine
Lacteals are present in the small intestine. The mucosa of the small intestine consists of a large number of finger-like projections called villi. Each villus is lined by columnar epithelium. Underneath the epithelial layer, a lymphatic vessel called lacteal is present that opens up to the lymphatic system. They help in the absorption of fatty acids.
The large intestine is divided into 3 parts i.e caecum, colon, rectum, and anal canal. It helps in the absorption of water, minerals, and drugs.
The stomach is a J-shaped bag-like structure. It helps in the absorption of alcohol, water, and simple sugar.
The anus is the posterior opening of the alimentary canal.
