The liver produces bile, while the gallbladder stores and releases it. Villi are not located here.

B. Small intestine, absorption

Villi are tiny finger-like projections in the small intestine that increase surface area for absorption of nutrients.

C. Pancreas, release of hormones

The pancreas does release hormones (like insulin), but it does not contain villi.

The large intestine is responsible for water absorption and feces formation, not nutrient absorption through villi.
