B Correct answer
Explanation

Glands in the duodenum or small intestine secrete several hormones including secretin, cholecystokinin (CCK) and gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP). Secretin is a hormone secreted by the duodenal and jejunal mucosa when acid chyme enters the intestine. It stimulates secretion of pancreatic juice and to a lesser extent bile and intestinal secretion.
