Solution

The correct option is B small intestine
  • Most lipids that you consume in your diet are fats. Some digestion occurs in your mouth and the stomach but mostly takes place in the small intestine. The purpose of the small intestine is to finish digestion and absorb nutrients. The small intestine is where most chemical digestion takes place.
  • Many of the digestive enzymes that act in the small intestine are secreted by the pancreas and liver and enter the small intestine via the pancreatic duct. Hence, most of the digestion of lipids in humans takes place in the small intestine.
So, the correct answer is 'small intestine'.
