Solution

The correct option is C

Assertion [A] is True and Reason [R] is True, and [R] is a correct explanation to [A]


Bile is made up of bile salts, bile pigments, and phospholipids. Bile pigments are essentially bilirubin, biliverdin and their derivatives, which come from the degradation of haemoglobin during RBC breakdown. Bile salts and phospholipids act on fat globules in chyme, and emulsify it by breaking huge fat globules into smaller tiny micelles, which are acted upon by lipases.
