Correct option is B
The correct answer is (B) Bile salts.
· Bile salts, secreted by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, play a crucial role in the emulsification of fats during digestion.
· Emulsification is the process of breaking down large fat globules into smaller droplets, increasing the surface area for enzymes to act upon.
Explanation of Other Options:
- Vit–K Trypsin:
- Vitamin K is involved in blood clotting, not fat digestion.
- Trypsin is a protease enzyme that breaks down proteins, not fats.
- HCl:
- Hydrochloric acid is secreted in the stomach and helps in protein digestion, not fat emulsification.
- Pepsin:
- An enzyme in the stomach that digests proteins, not fats.
