The liver helps in the digestion of fats by producing bile (A), synthesizes blood-clotting factors (D), and stores certain vitamins like A, D, E, and K (E). It is not responsible for filtering waste from the blood and making urine (C), which is the function of the kidneys. The liver is not classified as both an endocrine and exocrine gland (B); it is primarily an exocrine gland.
