Assertion: Bile helps in emulsification of fat.
Reason: Bile salts help in incorporating fatty acids and glycerol into water soluble droplets called chylomicrons.

Options

A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explantion of assertion
B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explnantion of assertion.

Explanation

Bile is a watery fluid mixture containing bile pigments, bile salt, cholesterol, phospholipids, etc. Bile salts break the large fats into smaller ones, a process, called emulsification. They also help in incorporating produces of fat digestion (fatty acids and glycerol) into small, spherical, water soluble molecuels called micelles.
