Answer:

Villi

Step-by-step explanation:

The modification that increases surface area in the small intestine with fingerlike extensions of the mucosa is called "villi". Villi are small, finger-like projections that extend from the mucosa (inner lining) of the small intestine. They increase the surface area available for absorption by several hundred times.
