Correct:
B
Explanation
The common bile duct (CBD) does not release its contents into the stomach; instead bile flows from the hepatic/cystic ducts into the CBD and the CBD opens into the second part of the duodenum at the hepatopancreatic ampulla (ampulla of Vater), typically after joining the pancreatic duct. The main pancreatic duct likewise drains pancreatic juice into the duodenum via the same ampulla (or occasionally via an accessory papilla), and the hepatopancreatic sphincter (sphincter of Oddi) controls release of both bile and pancreatic secretions into the duodenal lumen [1]. Therefore statement I is incorrect and statement II is correct; option 2 is the right choice.
