Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is D. Absorption.

Explanation:

Absorption is the stage of food processing during which the digested nutrients, along with other substances, cross the cell membranes of the digestive tract and enter the bloodstream or lymphatic system. This allows for the distribution of nutrients and other molecules to various cells and tissues in the body for energy production, growth, and repair. Absorption primarily occurs in the small intestine, where the inner lining is specialized for efficient nutrient absorption.
