Solution

The correct option is D Acidic, Alkaline
The chyme which enters the duodenum is acidic in nature due to the action of hydrochloric acid. But since the pancreatic enzymes work in an alkaline medium, chyme is transformed into an alkaline medium by the bile secreted into the small intestine.
