Solution

The correct option is D

Fats


Blood absorbs all the nutrients from the digestive tract by simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, active transport,etc. but it has its limitations. Since, blood has an aqueous nature it cannot absorb fats directly. Fats are absorbed by the lymph which is then processed and transported back to the blood.
