A 7-year-old boy is referred to a specialty clinic
because of digestive problems. He often experiences severe
abdominal cramps after eating a high fat meal. He is worked
up and diagnosed with a genetic defect resulting in a deficiency
of lipoprotein lipase. Which of the following substances would most
likely be elevated in this patient's plasma following a fatty meal?
A. Albumin-bound free fatty acids
B. Chylomicrons
C. HDL
D. LDL
E. Unesterified fatty acids
I don't know the answer, can anyone help ? It's from an old kaplan qbank - i think about 2-3 years old.

B.
Lipoprotein Lipase is required for the metabolism of both Chylomicrons and VLDL. This enzyme is induced by insulin and transported to the luminal surface of Capillary Endothelium where it is in direct contact with the blood.
Lipoprotein lipase hydrolyzes the fatty acids from triglycerides carried by chylomicrons and VLDL and is activated by apoC-II
