A
mineral
B
vitamin
C
water-soluble
D
fat-soluble
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Upon absorption, fat-soluble vitamins travel through the lymphatic system within chylomicrons before entering the bloodstream, where many of them require protein carriers for transport.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the intestine, lymphatic capillaries (lacteals) are necessary to absorb dietary fats in the villi of the small intestine. Lacteals are important for lipid transport from the small intestinal epithelium to the lymphatic vasculature and blood circulation (Dixon, 2010).

Detailed explanation-3: -Fat-soluble nutrients are transported from the lymph capillaries through the lymphatic vessels and eventually arrive at the thoracic junction. Water-soluble vitamins are transported via the cardiovascular system.
