Answer:

d. difficulty with fat digestion

Step-by-step explanation:

The gallbladder is an accessory gland that stores bile produced in the liver, so option "e" is not possible. Bile is a type of enzyme that helps to break down fats which makes option "d" as the best option. Protein digestion is mainly by different enzymes known as proteases. Feces are formed in the short intestine.
