Solution

The correct option is D Crypts of Lieberkuhn
While the chyme is present within the small intestine, glands within this structure begin to secrete different types of digestive enzymes, called carbohydrases (amylase, proteases, and lipases or fat splitting enzymes). The glands responsible for these enzymatic secretions are found in the mucosal layer of the small intestine, called the crypts of Lieberkuhn.
