Answer: E. The liver makes bile, which is needed to absorb lipid-soluble vitamins.

The liver makes bile that absorbs vitamin A, D, E, and K which is lipid-soluble. If the liver damaged and the bile production is reduced, the absorption of those vitamins will be reduced too. Vitamin K has a role in blood clotting, so the symptoms probably caused by vitamin K deficiency.
