Solution
The correct option is D Assimilation
After digestion of complex food into the simple soluble form, the nutrients are absorbed by the small intestine with help of finger-like projection (villi) in the wall of the intestine.
Assimilation is the process of transfer of soluble food from the intestine to rest parts of the body through blood vessels.
