Answer 1

D) peptic ulcers can be treated with antibiotics

explanation: Peptic ulcer is treated by the proton pump inhibitors and drugs that decreases the secretion of acid in the stomach. Antibiotics are used only when infection with H. pylori is suspected

Crohn's disease (CD) represents a chronic transmural (involving the whole thickness of the wall) inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract, potentially leading to structural damage and disability.

tumor secreting gastrin is responsible for increased gastric acid secretion.

enteric nervous system have myenteric plexus which stimulate the contraction of the smooth muscle of the GIT wall leading to peristalsis and expulsion of the material.
