Answer B is correct
The stomach is no longer secreting pepsin. Pepsin is an endopeptidase that breaks down proteins into smaller peptides. It is produced in the gastric chief cells of the stomach lining and is one of the main digestive enzymes in the digestive systems of humans.so no longer secretion of the pepsin may cause digestive system problem.
