The stomach is no longer secreting bile.
The pancreas is no longer secreting bile.

Answer 1

Answer b the pancreas is no longer secreting Pepsi

Answer 2

Pepsin is a protein digesting enzyme that performs protein digestion in the stomach.

Bile is produced by the liver for the digestion of lipids in small intestine. The pancreas secretes pancreatic juice, not bile.
