non of these
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The liver also produces about 800 to 1, 000 milliliters (27 to 34 fluid ounces) of bile each day. 3 Bile is secreted by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, a small organ attached to the underside of the liver. During meals, bile is released from the gallbladder through a tube called the common bile duct.

Detailed explanation-2: -The liver synthesizes about 0.5 g of bile acids per day (80–90 kg body weight) (Fig. 1). Bile acids are secreted into canaliculi by active transport to form bile. Bile acids are stored in the gallbladder and are released after meal intake into the intestinal tract via the common bile ducts.

Detailed explanation-3: -About 800 to 1, 000 ml of bile (before concentration) are produced daily by the liver.
