The correct answer is D. Protein, in alkaline medium in duodenum.

Explanation: Trypsin is a digestive enzyme produced in the pancreas and released into the duodenum of the small intestine. It specifically digests proteins but requires an alkaline environment (pH around 8.0 - 9.0) to be active. Pepsin, on the other hand, is produced in the stomach and digests proteins in an acidic environment (pH around 1.5 - 2.0).
