Solution

The correct option is B Urogastrone
Urogastrone is the secretion of Brunner's gland that inhibits the chief cell of the stomach to secrete acids and digestive enzymes. It also promotes epithelial cell proliferation. It is also called as a human epidermal growth factor (EGF) which stimulates the growth, repair and regeneration by binding to its receptors.
