Helps improve immune system

Helps in the process of digestion
C

D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The gallbladder stores bile, a thick liquid that’s produced by the liver to help us digest fat. When we eat, the gallbladder’s thin, muscular lining squeezes bile into the small intestine through the main bile duct. The more fat we eat, the more bile the gallbladder injects into the digestive tract.

Detailed explanation-2: -The gallbladder sits in an indenture underneath the right lobe of the liver. It is about one inch wide and three inches long, and tapered at one end where it connects to the cystic duct. It is a muscular organ that contracts when bile is needed, and forces the enzyme through the cystic duct.

Detailed explanation-3: -Gall bladder is the small sac-shaped organ beneath the liver, in which bile is stored after secretion by the liver and before release into the intestine. The main purpose of the gallbladder is to store bile, also called gall, needed for the digestion of fats in food.
