Correct Answer

Explanation

The gall bladder is a small, pear-shaped organ located under the liver. Its primary function is to store and concentrate bile, a greenish-yellow fluid that is produced by the liver and helps in the digestion of fats. Bile is secreted into the small intestine when food enters from the stomach, and the gall bladder contracts to release the stored bile. If the gall bladder is removed, bile is still produced by the liver, but it is not stored, leading to more frequent and less concentrated release of bile into the small intestine.
