Correct Answer: Hydrochloric acid


Solution : The correct option is Hydrochloric acid.

Oxyntic cells are in control of secreting hydrochloric acid (HCl), which is essential in the digestive process. Hydrochloric acid aids in the breakdown of proteins and the absorption of certain nutrients in the stomach by activating enzymes and creating an acidic environment. Oxyntic cells also release intrinsic factor, a protein essential for vitamin B12 absorption in the small intestine.
