Solution

The correct option is D
Bile

The stomach is a thick-walled bag. Its shape is like a flattened U and it is the widest part of the alimentary canal. The inner lining of the stomach secretes mucous, hydrochloric acid and digestive juices, but does not secrete bile; it is secreted by the liver.
