CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. The liver makes bile continuously; the gall bladder stores and concentrates it.

  2. Bile breaks fat into small droplets (emulsification) so that enzymes can act on it.

Worth noting

Bile contains no enzymes; it prepares fat for the pancreatic enzyme lipase.
