Solution
The correct option is A Lacteals
Fatty acids and glycerol being insoluble, cannot be absorbed into the
blood. They form small droplets called micelles to move into the intestinal mucosa and forms protein coated fat globules called chylomicrons. These are transported into the lymph vessels (lacteals) in the villi. Hence, Most of the fats absorbed in the small intestine enter the lacteals.
