Solution

The correct option is B Enterogastrone
Enterogastrone is a hormone secreted by the duodenal mucosa, when fatty food is in the stomach or small intestine; it is also released, when sugars and proteins are in the intestine. Enterogastrone is transported by the bloodstream to the glands and muscles of the stomach, where it inhibits gastric movements and secretions, by blocking the production or activity of gastrin.
