Solution

The correct option is A Gall bladder
Cholecystokinin is secreted by cells of the upper small intestine.
Its secretion is stimulated by the introduction of hydrochloric acid, amino acids, or fatty acids into the stomach or duodenum.
Cholecystokinin stimulates the gallbladder to contract and release stored bile into the intestine. Hence, Cholecystokinin stimulates Gall's bladder.
So, the correct answer is 'Gall's bladder'.
