Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The structure of the digestive tract that contains microvilli and maltase is the villus, and the organ is the small intestine. Villi are finger-like projections that cover the surface of the small intestine and contain microvilli, which increase the surface area for nutrient absorption. Maltase is an enzyme that breaks down maltose, a type of sugar found in many foods. Nutrient absorption occurs primarily in the small intestine, with the help of the villi and their microvilli. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
