Solution

The correct option is A Small intestine
On the inner wall of the ileum (last part of small intestine), finger-like projections are present which are called as villi. Each villus further shows hair like projections called microvilli. They help in the absorption of nutrients and aids the peristaltic movement as part of the digestive process.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
