Step 1: A choledochal cyst is a congenital cystic dilatation of the biliary tree.
Step 2: The dilatation can involve the extrahepatic or intrahepatic bile ducts, alone or in combination, as classified by the Todani system.
Step 3: Because the abnormality is of the bile duct in general (not confined to the common bile duct), the best and most complete answer is bile duct.
Step 4: The gall bladder and hepatic duct alone do not define the lesion, and CBD is only the most frequent single segment involved (type I), so the broader term bile duct is the intended answer.
