Bile salts are important in the initial digestion of triacylglycerols in the intestine because they:

A) are coenzymes for pancreatic lipase.
B) convert the inactive lipase into the active form.
C) emulsify the triacylglycerol globules to produce greater surface area which will increase the activity of the lipase.
D) activate the cleavage at the C-2 position.
E) permit greater permeability of the triacylglycerols through the intestinal membrane.
