Solution

The correct option is C Gastrin
Gastrin is a peptide hormone, that stimulates secretion of gastric acid (HCl) by the parietal cells of the stomach and aids in gastric motility. It is released by G cells in the pyloric antrum of the stomach, duodenum and the pancreas.
So, the correct answer is 'Gastrin'
