Solution
The correct option is C Pancreatic
Pancreatic enzymes help break down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. The pancreatic juice secreted into the duodenum contains pancreatic enzymes (lipase, protease, amylase) to help with digestion and bicarbonate to neutralize stomach acid as it enters the small intestine.
