C

D
Pancreas
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the function of bile in the digestive system. Bile is a digestive fluid that helps in the emulsification and breakdown of fats.
Understand the role of each organ listed: the stomach, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas, in the digestive process.
Recognize that the liver is the organ responsible for producing bile. It synthesizes bile from cholesterol and other substances.
Note that the gallbladder stores and concentrates bile produced by the liver, releasing it into the small intestine when needed.
Acknowledge that the pancreas produces digestive enzymes and hormones, but not bile. Therefore, the liver is the correct answer.
