Solution
The correct option is A Chyme When the food enters into the stomach gastric gland releases gastric juice which mixed thoroughly with the food by the churning movements of stomach muscular wall. The partially digested food with gastric juice is called as chyme. Whereas chyle is a milky bodily fluid consisting of lymph and emulsified fats, or free fatty acids (FFAs). It is formed in the small intestine during digestion of fatty foods, and taken up by lymph vessels specifically known as lacteals, whereas roughage refers to the undigested fibre present in food.
