What will be the likely happen if the number of villi increases in the intestine?

(a) increase in the absorption of food
(b) fast elimination of waste from the body
(c) increase in flow of blood in the small intestine
(d) fast breakdown of larger food particles into smaller ones

The correct option is (a).

Villi are tiny finger-like projections originating from the walls of the small intestine. They increase the surface area for absorption of the digested food. The blood vessels present inside the villi can absorb the nutrients from the digested food. If the number of villi increases in number, the absorption of food will also increase.

Hope this helps.
