A
absorption
B
excretion
C
emulsification
D
nutrition
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Bile aids in the digestion of lipids, primarily triglycerides, through emulsification. Emulsification is a process in which large lipid globules are broken down into several small lipid globules. These small globules are widely distributed in the chyme rather than forming large aggregates.

Detailed explanation-2: -Through the process of emulsification, bile acids break down large lipid droplets into smaller ones, increasing the surface area for digestive enzymes. Emulsification is possible due to the amphipathic property of bile salts [1].

Detailed explanation-3: -Assertion :Bile helps in emulsification of fat. Reason: Bile salts help in incorporating fatty acids and glycerol into water soluble droplets called chylomicrons.
