Solution

The correct option is D
Villi

Villi are finger like projections which help in absorption of digested food from the small intestine. The absorbed food is taken by blood and supplied to all cells of the body. These in turn produce energy. Absence of these villi, would starve the cells as there would be no food for the production of energy.
