Villi are finger-like projections found on the inner lining of the small intestine, and they are richly supplied with blood vessels. The presence of numerous blood vessels allows for the efficient absorption of nutrients from the digested food passing through the small intestine. The network of blood vessels helps transport the absorbed nutrients to the bloodstream for distribution to the rest of the body. Therefore, Option 2 is the correct answer.
