Correct Answer is C
Explanation
A. Blood circulation:
Unlike carbohydrates and proteins, fats are too large to enter the blood directly after digestion. They are transported via the lymphatic system first.
B. The kidneys:
The kidneys are involved in filtering blood, not in the initial absorption or transport of digested fats.
C. Lymphatic circulation:
Fats are absorbed in the intestines as chylomicrons and transported first through the lymphatic system, then eventually enter the bloodstream.
D. The pancreas:
The pancreas secretes enzymes (like lipase) to help digest fats, but it is not involved in the transport of absorbed fats.
