Answer»

The correct option is (b) H2 receptor

The best I can EXPLAIN: Found mainly in the gastric parietal cells, a low LEVEL of these cells can be found in vascular smooth muscles, NEUTROPHILS, CNS, heart, uterus. These are G protein-coupled receptor. Increases the release of gastric acid. H1 receptors mediate an increase in vascular PERMEABILITY at sites of inflammation induced by histamine.
