Bile is stored in the gall bladder (option 3). The gall bladder is a small organ located just below the liver. It plays a role in the digestion of fats by storing and concentrating bile. Bile is a greenish-yellow fluid produced by the liver, and it is important for the breakdown and absorption of dietary fats. When we eat a meal containing fats, the gall bladder releases bile into the small intestine, where it helps to emulsify fats and make them easier to digest. The liver continuously produces bile, but it is stored in the gall bladder for later use. It is important to note that the liver (option 1) produces bile, while the kidney (option 2) and spleen (option 4) do not have a role in the storage of bile.
