Solution

The correct option is A Glucose and amino acids
Facilitated transport is also called facilitated diffusion in which material moves across the plasma membrane with the assistance of transmembrane proteins down a concentration gradient with the help of carrier proteins. Glucose and amino acids are absorbed by the mechanism of facilitated transport.
So the correct answer is 'Glucose and amino acids'.
