What stores bile?
A
Colon
B
Gall Bladder
C
Small Intestine
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The gallbladder is a small organ that stores bile. It is attached to your digestive system by a system of hollow ducts called the biliary tree. The gallbladder sits in an indenture underneath the right lobe of the liver.

Detailed explanation-2: -Your liver makes a powerful digestive juice called bile. Next, the bile passes to the gallbladder which concentrates and stores it for later use. Bile helps break down the food you eat.

Detailed explanation-3: -The gallbladder is a small pouch that sits just under the liver. The gallbladder stores bile produced by the liver. After meals, the gallbladder is empty and flat, like a deflated balloon. Before a meal, the gallbladder may be full of bile and about the size of a small pear.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bile is made in the liver and flows through the common hepatic duct and the cystic duct to the gallbladder, where it is stored. When food is being digested, bile is released from the gallbladder and flows through the common bile duct and pancreas into small intestine.

Detailed explanation-5: -Bile is retained in the gall bladder, a little sac-shaped organ located under the liver, after the liver has secreted it, but before it is allowed to enter the gut. The liver produces bile, which is stored short-term in the gall bladder.
