The correct Answer is:
C
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.
