Answer: option (A). fat absorption from the digestive tract.

Explanation:Lymphatic system has multiple interrelated functions. Fat absorption from the digestive system is another function the lymphatic system is involved in. The lymphatic system is the absorption of fats and fats soluble vitamins from the digestive system , followed by the transport of these fats to your blood circulation, it is also responsible for the removal of interstitial fluid from tissues.
