Solution

The correct option is C Duodenal mucosa
Enterogastrone is a peptide hormone secreted by duodenal mucosa. It is secreted in duodenum when there are sugars and proteins and fatty food in the intestine. Duodenum is a part of small intestine present just after the stomach. Enterogastrone decreases gastric secretions. It also affects movement of chyme in the stomach.
So, the correct answer is 'Duodenal mucosa'.
