Peptic ulcers are caused by eating acidic food.

The correct option is C.

5. Ulcers are most commonly found in the stomach and the first few cm of the duodenum.
6. This condition is also caused by Helicobacter pylori.
7. The primary causes of ulcers are:
   1. A decrease in blood supply (reduced blood flow and ischemia may be caused by excessive cigarette smoking and stress, either physical or mental).
   2. Reduce mucus secretion (the composition and amount of mucus may be altered, for example, by regular and prolonged use of aspirin and other anti-inflammatory drugs by the reflux of bile acids and salts in chronic gastritis).
