Most of the fat digestion occurs in

1. Rectum
2. Stomach

Correct answer: Duodenum

Solution

Most fat digestion occurs in the duodenum because bile emulsifies fats there and pancreatic lipase begins breaking them down efficiently. The stomach does only a small amount of fat digestion, while the rectum does none.
