Final answer:

Vitamin B-12 is absorbed in the ileum of the small intestine.

Step-by-step explanation:

The absorption of Vitamin B-12 occurs in the ileum, which is the final part of the small intestine. The ileum is responsible for absorbing vitamin B-12 as well as bile salts. It also absorbs any remaining nutrients that were not absorbed in the jejunum.
