Vedclass · Answer

(A) Jaundice is a condition characterized by the yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes. This occurs due to the accumulation of bile pigments,specifically bilirubin,in the blood and tissues. When the liver is unable to process bilirubin efficiently or when there is an obstruction in the bile ducts,these pigments deposit in the body,leading to the characteristic yellow discoloration.
