Solution

The correct option is A Gastric juice
Gastric juice is secreted by gastric glands which are located in walls of the stomach. It contains pepsinogen (a proenzyme). Gastric juice also secretes HCl which creates acidic environment. This acidic environment activates pepsinogen to form pepsin enzyme. Pepsin helps in digestion of proteins.
