Which of the following would NOT likely lead to elevated levels of bilirubin in the blood? (A) $\quad$ Cholangiocarcinoma, a cancer of the bile ducts that can ultimately lead to full occlusion of the duct lumen (B) $\quad$ Autoimmune hemolytic anemia, a disease in which the red blood cells are attacked by antibodies and are lysed (C) $\quad$ Ménétrier's disease, in which rugae thicken and overlying glands lose secretory ability (D) $\quad$ Acetaminophen (Tylenol) overdose, in which the accumulation of toxic metabolites can cause rapid liver failure
