Solution

The correct option is A Pepsin and rennin
Pepsin is a stomach enzyme that serves to digest proteins found in ingested food. Gastric chief cells secrete pepsin as an inactive zymogen called pepsinogen and rennin that digests proteins and coagulates milk respectively. Parietal cells within the stomach lining secrete hydrochloric acid that lowers the pH of the stomach. A low pH (1.5 to 2) activates pepsin. Hence, the correct answer is (A)
