Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
The mucosa of the intestine has goblet cells which secrete mucus that helps in lubrication and protection of the mucosal epithelium from excoriation by highly acidic chyme. The mucus along with the bicarbonates from the pancreas protects the intestinal mucosa from acid as well as provides an alkaline medium for enzymatic activities. Sub-mucosal glands, known as Brunner's glands, also secrete mucus and help in this protective action.
