Solution

The correct options are
C Facilitated diffusion
D Active transport
After digestion, most of the monosaccharides like glucose and galactose are absorbed into the body via active transport using sodium ions. Fructose is absorbed via facilitated diffusion. Amino acids are absorbed via secondary active transport using sodium ions.
So, the correct answer is 'Facilitated diffusion and Active transport respectively'.
