  1. Disorders of hepato-billary system

  2. Abnormal secretion of pancreatic and gastric juices

  3. Bile duct obstruction

  4. Anaemia

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Jaundice is caused due to the high levels of bilirubin in the blood. High bilirubin levels could be due to obstruction in bile duct which would interrupt the drainage of bile containing the bilirubin or the chronic liver disease (hepato-biliary) which decrease the ability of  the liver to metabolize and excrete the bilirubin. Anemia leads to increased excretion of bilirubin in the blood and subsequent decrease in the number of RBC's. Abnormal secretion of pancreatic and gastric juices has nothing to do with bilirubin levels thus are not the symptoms found in jaundice patients.
