As we know there are special lymph capillaries and are located in the small intestine, specifically in the center of the villi, their function is to absorb fats and fat-soluble vitamins, and in consequence, the lymph in them has a milky appearance due to the high-fat content, these capillaries are known as lacteals, therefore we can say that the correct answer is option B.
