Answer

A is false and R is True.

Reason — Bile juice is produced in the liver, not the kidneys. It is stored in the gallbladder, not the liver. Bile is released into the duodenum via the common bile duct. It neutralizes the acidic chyme from the stomach, making it alkaline. This alkaline environment is necessary for the action of pancreatic enzymes like trypsin and lipase.
