The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Bile**: Bile is a digestive fluid that plays a crucial role in the digestion of fats. It helps in the emulsification of fat molecules, which means it breaks down large fat globules into smaller particles, making it easier for enzymes to further digest them. 2. **Identifying the Source of Bile**: The question asks where bile is formed. It is important to differentiate between where bile is produced and where it is stored. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1: Gallbladder** - The gallbladder does not produce bile; it stores bile that is produced in the liver. - **Option 2: Liver** - The liver is the organ responsible for the production of bile. - **Option 3: Spleen** - The spleen is not involved in bile production; it plays a role in filtering blood and immune responses. - **Option 4: Blood** - Blood does not produce bile; it is a transport medium for various substances in the body. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer to the question "Bile is formed in" is **Option 2: Liver**. ---
