Solution

The correct option is A Bile
  • The pancreatic enzymes and intestinal enzymes are optimally active in alkaline pH (8.0-8.4) in the small intestine.
  • Thus, the acidic food from stomach is made alkaline by the action of bile.
  • Bile is alkaline in nature as it contains organic salt known as bile salt.
