Answer:(d) enterogastrone
An Enterogastrone is any hormone secreted by the mucosa of the duodenum in the lower gastrointestinal tract in response to dietary lipids that inhibits the caudal motion of the contents of chyme. It shows gastric contractions and stops the secretion of gastric juice.Enterogastrone is transported by the bloodstream to the glands and muscles of the stomach, where it inhibits gastric movements and secretions, possibly by blocking the production or activity of gastrin.
