This organ makes BILE to help your body break down fat and filters harmful substances.

• A. Gallbladder
• B. Liver
• C. Small Intestines
• D. Pancreas

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is recognizing the organ that both produces bile and helps detoxify the body. Bile is made by the liver, which also filters harmful substances from the blood and metabolizes drugs and nutrients. Bile then travels to the gallbladder for storage and release during digestion, but its production starts in the liver. The other organs have different primary roles: the gallbladder stores bile; the small intestine uses bile but does not produce it; and the pancreas makes digestive enzymes and bicarbonate, not bile. So the organ that fits both parts of the clue is the liver.
