Where does the digestion of fats occur mainly?

Stomach
Liver
Small intestine
Large intestine

The correct answer is: Small intestine

The digestion of fats mainly occurs in the small intestine. The stomach does not have the necessary enzymes to break down fats. The liver produces bile that aids in fat digestion, but the actual digestion process occurs in the small intestine. The large intestine primarily absorbs water and electrolytes, and does not play a significant role in fat digestion.
