Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
The mucosal lining of the small intestine forms numerous finger-like projections called villi, which vastly increase the surface area for absorption of nutrients. Each villus contains a network of capillaries and a central lymphatic vessel (lacteal) for absorbing amino acids, sugars, and fats, respectively. Microvilli are further projections on the epithelial cells of the villi.
