Solution

The correct option is D Digestion of carbohydrates, proteins and fats
The duct labeled as 'A' in the given diagram is the hepato-pancreatic duct. The bile duct and the pancreatic duct open together into the duodenum as the common hepato-pancreatic duct. If the hepato-pancreatic duct is blocked the pancreatic and hepatic enzymes will not reach the intestine. Due to this, the digestion of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats will not occur.
So, the correct answer is 'Option D'.
