  2. BStorage and regulated release of bile
  3. CSecretion of lipase, amylase and protease
  4. DNeutralizing stomach acids

Correct answer

C. Secretion of lipase, amylase and protease

Step-by-step solution

The pancreas secretes enzymes such as lipase (to digest fats), amylase (to digest carbohydrates), and protease (to digest proteins) into the small intestine. These enzymes play a crucial role in breaking down food components so that they can be absorbed and utilized by the body.
