These enzymes and juice help in the acidity of the juices by releasing the bicarbonate in the which acts as the buffer to the acidity and neutralize it. Neutralizing the gastric acidity helps in maintaining pH to the level for enzymes to act and absorption of the nutrients.

Thus, the correct answer is - option B.
