One of the Effects of the Hormone Secretin Is to Stimulate

One of the effects of the hormone secretin is to stimulate the release of bicarbonate ions into the duodenum, which neutralizes the acid that enters the duodenum with food from the stomach. One consequence of neutralizing the pH in the intestine is that:

A) carbohydrates are not as easily broken down in this neutral environment.
B) enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of carbohydrates are denatured.
C) enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of carbohydrates are active.
D) the enzymatically catalyzed hydrolysis of carbohydrate that began in the stomach is halted in the duodenum.
