Blockage in the flow of bile through bile ducts in the gall bladder, usually forming when substances in bile harden and attacks often happen after you eat.

• A. Appendix
• B. Peritonitis
• C. Gallstones
• D. Cirrhosis

Answer: (C)

This describes gallstones. They are hardened pieces that form when substances in bile crystallize, and they can lodge in the bile ducts, blocking flow. After a meal, the gallbladder contracts to release bile for fat digestion, so a stone in the duct often triggers pain or an attack post‑eating. The other conditions listed don’t involve a blockage of bile flow from hardened bile components: the appendix is involved in appendicitis, peritonitis is inflammation of the abdominal lining, and cirrhosis is scarring of the liver.
