Since fatty acids and glycerol are insoluble, they cannot be transported in the blood. They are emulsified by bile, converting them into micelles, which in turn turn them into protein-coated chylomicrons, and are absorbed and transported through the lymphatic vessels, releasing them into the blood. Hence, option 3 is correct.
