Solution

The correct option is C Fat
The exocrine portion of pancreas secretes an alkaline pancreatic juice containing enzymes.
The pancreatic juice contains inactive enzymes – trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen, procarboxypeptidases, amylases, Pancreatic lipases and nucleases.
Pancreatic lipase digests fat into fatty acids and glycerol in the small intestine.
Hence the food molecule is digested by pancreatic lipase Fat.
So, the correct answer is 'Fat'.
