The correct answer is option 4.

Key Points

  • Diabetes is primarily associated with the pancreas, which plays a key role in insulin production. Hence, option 4 is correct.
  • The pancreas contains beta cells in the Islets of Langerhans, which produce insulin—a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels.
  • In diabetes, the pancreas either:
    • Fails to produce enough insulin (Type 1 Diabetes), or
    • The body becomes resistant to insulin (Type 2 Diabetes).

Additional Information

  • Gall bladder: Related to bile storage and gallstones, not diabetes.
  • Liver: Involved in glucose metabolism but not the direct cause of diabetes.
  • Kidney: Diabetes damages kidneys over time (diabetic nephropathy), but the disease originates in the pancreas.
