C Correct answer
Explanation

Bile salts emulsify fats, breaking large fat globules into smaller droplets, which increases surface area for lipase enzymes to work. This emulsification is essential for proper fat digestion and absorption. Glycerol is a fat component, lipase is the enzyme, and bile pigments are waste products.
