Solution

The correct option is A
Small intestine

The inner lining of the small intestine contains a large number of tiny finger-like projections called villi. The villi increase the surface area for absorption of the digested food. Each villus has a network of thin and small blood vessels close to its surface. The surface of the villi absorbs the amino acid and glucose into the blood system.
