Solution

The correct option is D Pepsinogen
The gastric chief cells(also known as a zymogenic cell or peptic cell) of the stomach release pepsinogen and chymosin. Pepsinogen is activated into the digestive enzyme pepsin when it comes in contact with HCl acid produced by gastric parietal cells.
So, the correct answer is 'Pepsinogen'
