Solution

The correct option is C Empty stomach
  • The gastric folds (or gastric rugae) are coiled sections of tissue that exist in the mucosal and submucosal layers of the stomach.
  • When the stomach is empty, the walls are folded into rugae (stomach folds), which allow the stomach to expand as more food fills it.
  • Therefore, they are only present in empty stomach. Hence, option A is correct.
