Detailed Solution

The small intestine is the longest part of the digestive system, and it is where the majority of nutrient absorption occurs.

Bile from the gallbladder, pancreatic juice from the pancreas, and intestinal juice from the intestinal walls are all mixed with food in the small intestine to aid in digestion and nutrient absorption.

Pancreatic juice contains enzymes such as amylase, trypsin, and lipase, as well as salts and mucus. Bile is made up of bile acids, bile salts, mucus, and bile pigment.

Therefore, "Bile and pancreatic juice," is the correct answer.
