A.

Small intestine


B.

Liver


C.

Large intestine


D.

Stomach

Correct option is A

The correct answer is (A) Small intestine.

Explanation:
Villi are tiny, finger-like projections found in the lining of the small intestine. They increase the surface area for absorption of nutrients from digested food.

Key Points:

  • Villi are located in the small intestine.
  • Their role is to increase the surface area for nutrient absorption.
  • Each villus contains microvilli that further enhance absorption.

Information Booster:

  • Small intestine is the longest part of the digestive system, measuring about 20 feet.
  • The liver produces bile to help digest fats in the small intestine.

Incorrect Options Explanation:

  • Liver: Main function is detoxification, not absorption of nutrients.
  • Large intestine: Responsible for absorbing water, not nutrients.
  • Stomach: Primarily involved in digestion, not nutrient absorption.
