C

D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -These juices travel through your pancreas via ducts. They empty into the upper part of your small intestine called the duodenum.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pancreatic fluid or juice contains digestive enzymes that pass to the small intestine where they help to further break down the carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids (fats) in the chyme.

Detailed explanation-3: -Intestinal juice or succus entericus is the alkaline yellowish watery fluid released by the glands lining the inner wall of the small intestine.

Detailed explanation-4: -After its passage through the stomach, ingested food turned into acidic chyme arrives in the first segment of the small intestine, a U-shaped tube called the duodenum. The duodenum produces hormones and receives secretions from the liver (bile) and pancreas (pancreatic juice containing digestive enzymes).

Detailed explanation-5: -The juices flow down a tube called the pancreatic duct into the first part of the small bowel. The bile duct joins the small bowel right next to the pancreatic duct. The place where the 2 ducts join and meet the bowel is called the ampulla of Vater.
