Solution
The correct option is B Acid, Fat, Peptone
Pancreatic secretion contains multiple enzymes to digest proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. The entry of highly acidic food to the small intestine stimulates the secretion of large quantities of water solution of sodium bicarbonate by the pancreatic ductal epithelium as depicted in graph 1.
The presence of long-chain fatty acids and peptones in the chyme (partially digested food) results in the secretion of pancreatic digestive enzymes by the acinar cells which are depicted in graphs 2 and 3.
