Correct answer: B. Jaundice
- A. Hepatitis
- B. Jaundice
- C. Gall stones
- D. Blockage

Bile pigments normally leave the body with the faeces, but their accumulation in blood and tissues produces the yellow discoloration called jaundice. Students may choose gall stones because both conditions can involve bile flow, but gall stones are solid deposits rather than the effect of retained pigments itself.
