A. Goblet cells (i) Antibacterial Agent
B. Lysozyme (ii) Mucus
C. Saliva (iii) HCl
D. Oxyntic cells (iv) Sublingual gland

• A. A-(iii), B-(i), C-(iv), D-(ii)
• B. A-(i), B-(iii), C-(iv), D-(ii)
• C. A-(ii), B-(iii), C-(i), D-(iv)
• D. A-(ii), B-(i), C-(iv), D-(iii)

Answer 1

The correct option is D A-(ii), B-(i), C-(iv), D-(iii)

Goblet cells are a column-shaped cell found in the respiratory and intestinal tracts, which secretes the main component of mucus. Lysozyme is a secretion mainly from exocrine glands that have the antibacterial ability. Saliva is secreted by three salivary glands among which one is the sublingual gland present underneath the tongue. Oxyntic cells in the stomach secret HCl to digest food and maintain an acidic pH for the enzymes to function properly.

Thus, the correct answer is 'A-(ii), B-(i), C-(iv), D-(iii).'
