Solution

The correct option is A gastric
Gastric juice is a digestive fluid formed in the stomach and contains hydrochloric acid, pepsin and mucous.

Pepsin helps to break the proteins.

Hydrochloric acid helps to make the food acidic.

Mucous helps to protect the inner lining of the stomach from the corrosive action of hydrochloric acid.
