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.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
