Solution

Option (1) is the answer as it represents the correct sequential steps regarding absorption of fatty acid and glycerol, in intestine i.e; (C) Fatty acid and glycerol are incorporated into small droplets called micelles (B) Micelles move into intestinal mucosa (A) Micelles are reformed into small protein coated fat globules called chylomicrons (E) Chylomicrons are transported into lacteals (D) Lacteals release the absorbed substances into blood stream. Other option (2), (3) are (4) are not representing a correct sequence for absorption of fatty acids and glycerol.
