Solution

The correct option is D Gastric juice
Gastric juices are secreted by the stomach. The three components of gastric juices are hydrochloric acid, pepsin, and mucous.

Hydochloric acid helps to make the food acidic

Pepsin helps in the digestion of proteins

Mucous protects the inner lining of stomach from hydrochloric acid.

These components will mix with food in the stomach.
