Answer»

Right choice is (a) Histamine

The explanation is: Histamine is the COMPOUND which is responsible for the SECRETION of pepsin and HCl in the STOMACH. Drugs like cimetidine (Tegamet), ranitidine (Zantac), omeprazole and lansoprazole PREVENT the interaction of histamine with the stomach wall receptors, resulting in release of LESSER acid.
