Ans.

Chylomicrons are lipoproteins molecules, consisting of phospholipids, proteins, triglycerides, and cholesterol. Chylomicrons are synthesized in intestinal cells or enterocytes by fats absorbed from dietary fats.

Chylomicrons function in transport of energy rich-dietary lipids to the other parts of the body from intestine, where they get absorbed.

Thus, the correct answer is option c). 'chylomicrons.'
