Stomach
B
Small intestine
C
Gall bladder
D
Liver
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cells of the liver produce about 800 to 1, 000 milliliters (about 27 to 34 fluid ounces) of bile every day. Bile is a yellow, brownish or olive-green liquid that helps our body digest fats. The liver cells secrete the bile into small canals that lead to the common bile duct.

Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: Small intestine is part of the alimentary canal that receives bile from the liver.

Detailed explanation-3: -About 50% of the bile produced by the liver is first stored in the gallbladder. This is a pear-shaped organ located directly below the liver. Then, when food is eaten, the gallbladder contracts and releases stored bile into the duodenum to help break down the fats.
