Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Numerous tube like glands are present in the wall of small intestine which secrete intestinal juice into the intestinal lumen. This juice contains a number of enzymes like enterokinase, amino peptidases, peptidases, maltese, lactase, lipase etc. for digesting various types of food. On the other hand, the enzymes RNase and DNase are present in the pancreatic juice. These enzymes are secreted by the pancreas and are drained into the small intestine via Hepato pancreatic duct.
So, the correct answer is 'Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect'.
