The correct answer is option 1, the liver. The liver is the largest gland in the human body. It is located in the upper right side of the abdomen and weighs about 1.5 kilograms in adults. The liver performs numerous vital functions in the body, including producing bile, which helps in the digestion and absorption of fats. It also helps in metabolizing nutrients, detoxifying harmful substances, storing vitamins and minerals, and producing blood-clotting proteins. The liver is a complex organ with multiple lobes and blood vessels supplying it. It plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health and is essential for survival. Therefore, option 1, the liver, is the correct answer.
