The liver, gallbladder, and stomach.
B
The gallbladder, pancreas, and lungs.
C
The liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.
D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The liver (under the ribcage in the right upper part of the abdomen), the gallbladder (hidden just below the liver), and the pancreas (beneath the stomach) are not part of the alimentary canal, but these organs are essential to digestion. The liver makes bile, which helps the body absorb fat.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The main organs that make up the digestive system (in order of their function) are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum and anus. Helping them along the way are the pancreas, gall bladder and liver.
