Solution

The correct option is C
inadequate secretion of pepsin

Soyabean or its dried chunks are very rich source of proteins and are hard to digest. Less secretion or absence of pepsin in stomach or gastric juice would lead to indigestion as pepsin helps in digestion of proteins in acidic environment.
