ANSWER : None of the above
Explanation:
The following choices are all functions of the liver. Let's rationalize:
Option A, which is the production of bile is the primary function of the liver. The liver is responsible for the secretion of bile and each day approximately 600-1000mL of bile were produced.
Option B is also correct. The liver serves as a temporary storage of the glucose but it's in the form of glycogen, this glycogen were stored if there is too much glucose in the blood stream.
Option C is correct. Liver is the storage of the the fat soluble vitamins (Vit. A, D, E, and K) it is also a storage of vit. B12 and some nutrients like copper and iron.
Option D is also correct because the liver can ingest harmful substances. During drug medications the liver detoxifies them by altering their chemical structure so that the excretion process will be easier.
