Solution

The correct option is B

Alkaline


Pancreatic juice makes the medium in the small intestine alkaline. It neutralizes the acidity of the acid that comes from the stomach. Alkaline medium is required for the digestion of fats. And the majority of fat digestion happens once it reaches the small intestine.
