Solution

The correct option is D

Lymph and fat


Fats are absorbed from the digestive system by lymphatic vessels called lacteals, which contain a fluid mixture of fats and lymph called chyle. Fats are not absorbed in the blood capillaries as they are too small. So the fats enter the large pores of lacteals instead.
