Solution
The correct option is B Emulsify fat droplets
Bile is a bitter-tasting, dark green to yellowish brown fluid, produced by the liver.
Bile helps in the process of digestion of lipids in the small intestine. And it is stored in the gall bladder. Bile consists of bile salts, bile pigments, water, fatty acids, water, electrolytes etc.
Bile helps in emulsification of lipid aggregates. Emulsification causes fat globules to break down or be emulsified into minute, microscopic fat droplets. Hence, the function of bile is to emulsify fat droplets.
So, the correct answer is 'emulsify fat droplets'.
