Answer 1

• The composition of hepatic bile is water, bile salts, bilirubin, biliverdin, fats inorganic salts.
• Bilirubin is created by the activity of biliverdin reductase on biliverdin, a green tetrapyrrolic bile pigment that is also a product of heme catabolism. Hence, bilirubin and biliverdin are found in bile juice.

So, the corrected answer is 'bile juice'.
