Answer Key : (b) -

(b)

Bile probably contains no digestive enzyme but contains inorganic salts. They neutralize the HCl, imparting alkalinity to chyme and inactivating gastric pepsin. Here, the fat is emulsified, which facilitates easy action of lipases of pancreatic juice upon the fat. The bile salts also help in absorption of fatty acid, monoglycerides, cholesterol and other lipids from chyme.
