The correct option is B Change chymotrypsin to trypsin
Bile salts are also biologic detergents that enable the body to excrete cholesterol and potentially toxic compounds (e.g., bilirubin, drug metabolites). The function of bile salts in the duodenum is to solubilize ingested fat and fat-soluble vitamins, facilitating their digestion and absorption.
