The answer is C. There is no association with viral hepatitis.

Haemolytic anaemia (B) is associated with the formation of pigment stones. The presence of gallstones is associated with pancreatitis (A) and rarely with small intestinal obstruction (D). Typhoid fever may result in a carrier state in which organisms survive in the gallbladder (E).
