Solution

The correct option is D Parietal cells
Parietal cells (also known as oxyntic cells), are the stomach epithelial cells, that secrete gastric acid (hydrochloric acid) and intrinsic factor. These cells are only located in glands found in a particular area of the stomach, known as the fundus.
Thus the correct answer is option B.
