Solution

The correct option is B Emulsification
The digestion of fats in the intestine is aided by emulsification, the breaking up of fat globules into much smaller emulsion droplets. Emulsification greatly increases the surface area where water-soluble lipase enzyme breaks lipids into fatty acids and monoglycerides.
