Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (c) Small intestine

Explanation

The small intestine (its first part, the duodenum) receives bile from the liver.

Bile is made by the liver, stored in the gall bladder, and released via the common bile duct.

It emulsifies fats into small droplets for easy digestion by lipase; the stomach and oesophagus do not receive bile.
