Answer: B) Nutrients are absorbed through the skin.

Explanation: In some animals, such as some worms and parasites, digestion is different from human digestion in that some nutrients can be absorbed via the skin. Skinny respiration is the name given to this mechanism. These creatures can exchange gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide as well as acquire nutrients like carbohydrates and amino acids from their surroundings thanks to their thin and permeable outer shell. In contrast, the small intestine is the main source of nutrition absorption in humans.
