Solution

The correct option is D Fat
In humans, starch is digested in buccopharyngeal cavity. Cellulose is not digested in the humans because cellulose contains –1, 4–linkage and vertebrates themselves do not possess any enzyme capable of hydrolyzing –1, 4–linkages. Protein is digested in stomach and fat in small intestine. Thus the correct answer are Cellulose, Protein and Fats
