Solution
The correct option is B Duodenum
Majority of digestion by enzymes takes places in the anterior or first part of the small intestine as pancreatic juice and bile are secreted into the duodenum via hepato-pancreatic duct. Pancreatic juice contains enzymes for digestion of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. The bile juice contains bile salts that emulsify fats to be broken down by lipases.So, the correct answer is 'Duodenum'
