Solution
The correct option is C Gastrin
The hormone responsible for vagus nerve activity is gastrin. Gastrin is a hormone that is responsible to release gastric acid. It is produced by the G-cells of the stomach. The vagus nerve is the tenth cranial nerve that interacts with parasympathetic control of the lungs, heart, and digestive system.
CCK or Cholecystokinin is a hormone secreted by the gastrointestinal system. It is responsible for the digestion of fat and proteins.
Secretin is responsible for the stimulation of liver and pancreatic juices.
GIP or Gastric inhibitory polypeptide helps in the stimulation of insulin secretion.
