Solution

The correct option is C Bile

A.Pancreatic juice – a clear alkaline digestive fluid, contains digestive enzymes, , including trypsin,chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase, lipase, and amylase.

B.Saliva - is the watery and usually somewhat frothy substance produced in the mouths of some animals, including humans. It contains 98% water, but it contains many important substances, including electrolytes, mucus, antibacterial compounds and various enzymes.

C.Bile Bile is synthesised in the liver and stored in the gall bladder. From gall bladder, bile is released into the duodenum. It contains bile pigments (bilirubin and biliverdin), bile salts, cholesterol and phospholipids but no enzymes. The bile secreted is a yellowish-green fluid that aids in the emulsification of fats. Bile is not an enzyme and it does not contain proteins. (all most all enzymes are made up of proteins).Hence, bile lacks proteins.

D.Intestinal juice - contains hormones, digestive enzymes, mucus, substances to neutralize hydrochloric acid coming from the stomach and erepsin which further digests polypeptides into amino acids, completing protein digestion.\

So, the correct option is 'bile'.
