Bile production would not occur if the accessory organ like liver of the digestive system is not present.

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Accessory organs of digestive system are those organs whose product take part in digestion but are not directly connected to the digestive tract. These accessory organs are liver, pancreas, salivary glands, gallbladder, and tongue.

Bile juice is produced by liver and stored in gallbladder. It is then released in to the "Duodenum" where it mixes with the food which was digested in the stomach. It neutralizes the gastric acid in the food which came from stomach to prepare it for small intestine. It also emulsify bulk fat into smaller fatty acids and facilitates the intestinal absorption of fat soluble biomolecules.
