Solution

The correct option is C Secretin
Secretin is produced in the S cells of the duodenum, which are located in the crypts of Lieberkuhn. Secretin helps regulate the pH of the duodenum by inhibiting the secretion of gastric acid from the parietal cells of the stomach and stimulating the production of bicarbonate from the pancreas.
