• D. It is not situated in the upper part of the abdomen.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Right side.

The liver is the largest gland of the body weighing about 1.2 to 1.5 kg in an adult human. It is situated in the right upper corner of the abdominal cavity, just below the diaphragm and has two lobes. The hepatic lobules are the structural and functional units of liver containing hepatic cells arranged in the form of cords. Hence, the liver is situated in the upper part of the abdomen on the right side.
So, the correct option is 'right side'.
