Regarding the assertion and reason; choose the correct option.
Assertion [A]: Bile has a significant role in the digestion of fats
Reason [R]: Bile salts emulsify fat.

A. Assertion [A] is True and Reason [R] is False
B. Reason [R] is True and Assertion [A] is False
C. Assertion [A] is True and Reason [R] is True, and [R] is a correct explanation to [A]
D. Assertion [A] is True and Reason [R] is True, but [R] is not
a correct explanation to [A].

Answer 1

• Emulsification is the process of breakdown of large fat globules into the small fat droplet.

• It is carried out by the bile salt present in bile juice/bile. So bile has a significant role in the digestion of fats.

• Hence both the assertion and reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation for the assertion.

• The answer is Option C.
