(a) If both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
Explanation:
In the condition of obstructive jaundice the entry of bile into the small intestine is prevented due to an obstruction in the bile duct. As we know that bile salts help in the digestion of fats by emulsification and also in their absorption by the formation of water soluble droplets called micelles from whom fatty acids, glycerides, sterols and fat soluble vitamins are absorbed into the intestinal cells. Therefore, in the absence of bile, the fats remain unabsorbed and consequently are eliminated out of the body in the faeces.
