Solution

The correct option is B emulsifies fats
The bile is a digestive juice secreted by liver into duodenum through the common pancreatic duct. The breakdown of fat globules into tiny droplets takes place in the duodenum because it provides a larger surface area on which the bile can act. This process is called emulsification. The pancreatic lipase then digests the smaller droplets of fats into fatty acids and glycerol.
