Solution

The correct option is D
Small Intestine

The liver is a reddish brown gland situated in the upper part of the abdomen on the right side of the body. It is the largest gland in the body. It secretes bile juice that is stored in a sac called the gall bladder. The bile is released in the small intestine and plays an important role in the digestion of fats. Thus, digestion in the small intestine will be affected if bile doesn't reach its site of action.
