Correct answer is c ( chylomicron) . 

Chylomicron can transport monoglycerides and long-chain fatty acids through the intes- tine to the microvilli of cells .  

Long-chain fatty acids and monoglycerides reassemble into triglycerides within the intestinal cell, and along with cholesterol and fat-soluble vitamins, are then incorporated into transport vehicles called chylomicrons.
