Which of the following will happen if the gallbladder is blocked?
A
The contents of the small intestine will be neutral
B
Digestion of proteins and carbohydrates will stop
C
Lipid digestion will be slow
D
Bile production stops
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -‌Bile duct or biliary obstruction is blockage of one or more bile ducts in your body. If your bile duct is blocked, it can’t transport bile or pancreatic juice to your intestines for digestion. This causes bile to build up in your liver and increases bilirubin levels in your blood.

Detailed explanation-2: -When the gallbladder can’t do its job, bile can’t flow to your small intestine to help with digestion, and instead builds up in your blood. Since bile in your small intestine is important for breaking down fats, you may have some digestive difficulties, especially digesting fatty foods.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bile passes out of the liver through the bile ducts and is stored in the gallbladder. After a meal, it is released into the small intestine. When the bile ducts become blocked, bile builds up in the liver, and jaundice (yellow color of the skin) develops due to the increasing level of bilirubin in the blood.
