Emulsification of fats occurs by the action of
A
pancreatic juices
B
amylase
C
bile
D
lipases
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Emulsification has done by the action of bile secretes from the liver. Bile contains bile pigment and bile salts. Bile salts break down the fats into smaller globules and result in a milky emulsion. These emulsified fats are again digested by pancreatic lipase into fatty acid and glycerol.

Detailed explanation-2: -Bile salts help in emulsification of fats in small intestine. It mainly act at the duodenum part of the small intestine.

Detailed explanation-3: -Emulsification is the act of breaking down fat into smaller blood cells, making it easier for enzymes to function and digest meals. Bile juice aids in the digestion of fats into fatty acids and glycerol for easy absorption in the small intestine, a process known as emulsification.

Detailed explanation-4: -Emulsification in digestion is the breakdown of fat globules in the duodenum into small droplets creating a larger area where the pancreatic lipase enzyme can work to digest the fat into fatty acids and glycerol. The activity of the bile salts helps to emulsify the fats.
