C Correct answer
Explanation

The gall bladder is attached with liver and it receives bile from the liver when there is no food in the duodenum for emulsification. Thus, gall bladder stores the bile. Since gall bladder is much smaller than liver, the bile has to be concentrated for storage. Hence, (3) is correct. It should be noted that gall bladder can't produce bile.
