Answer:

b. increases

Step-by-step explanation:

The dietary fat in the intestine increases the absorption of cholesterol, which can cause health problems, or not.

Cholesterol is an important molecule for our body, however, when absorbed in an exaggerated way it can bring several health risks and for this reason, it is necessary that people take care with the amount of dietary fat they consume.

When absorbed in high amounts, cholesterol can accumulate within the arteries, hindering the flow of blood flow, which is necessary for the proper functioning of organs and tissues.
