If part of the small intestine is removed, which of the following would the patient most likely experience? (2 points)

A. inflammation of the digestive tract
B. urinary tract infections and kidney failure
C. vitamin deficiency and malnutrition
D. weight gain due to lack of fat digestion

I was thinking it was C. because that is where the nutrient are absorbed. But how would that create malnutrition?

Thanks in advance! n_n
