Solution

The correct option is B Gastrin
  • Gastrin is a peptide hormone that stimulates the secretion of gastric acid (HCl) by the cells of the stomach.
  • It helps in gastric motility. It is secreted by the gastric glands of the stomach, duodenum, and pancreas.
  • It also stimulates the mucosal secretions in an acid-secreting part of the stomach.
  • The stimulation for the secretion of gastrin is the presence of peptides derived from dietary proteins.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
