Solution

The correct option is A
A hormone secreted by duodenal mucosa

The presence of fats in the stomach or small intestine stimulates the secretion of enterogastrone by the duodenal mucosa.

If the fat is present, then this hormone signals the stomach to take longer time to empty. It also inhibits the secretion of gastrin.
