ANSWER
Bile juice is produced by the liver that is collected and stored in a location named 'gall bladder'. The main role of bile juice is to break fat into small droplets. After this process, it can digest easily. If the gall bladder is removed from human body then it will be difficult to digest fat.

Answer:
Varun got his gall bladder removed surgically as he was diagnosed with stone in his gall bladder.
Now the problem that Varun will face is -
Option b - Varun would not be able to digest fats properly because gall bladder stores bile juice which helps in emulsification of fats.
Explanation:
- Bile acid containing bile salt helps is emulsification of fats.
- Bile acid → Gall bladder → Cystic duct → Common bile duct → Part 2 of duodenum.
- This bile acid acts on the fat which is present in duodenum.
- Bile acid breaks fat molecules into smaller fragments which forms micelles. This is emulsification.
- This increases the surface area for absorption of fats, thus helps in its digestion.
However, as Varun got his gall bladder removed, his emulsification of fat function is hampered. So he would not be able to digest fats properly.
