Answer: Option A. Fat.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gall bladder is a pear shaped organ located below the liver that collects, concentrates and stores bile. It releases it when you consume food to aid digestion. Bile help in digestion of fat. When the gall bladder is removed, the bile is less concentrated and flow into the intestine where it becomes laxative and these can lead to painful gas, bloating and diahorea.
