Correct answer: C. Gastric secretion increase

  • A. Bicarbonate secretion
  • B. Augments the action of CCK
  • C. Gastric secretion increase
  • D. Contraction of pyloric sphincter

Explanation

Secretin stimulates bicarbonate-rich pancreatic secretion and potentiates CCK, while it inhibits gastric acid secretion. Its inhibitory effect on gastric secretion is therefore the response it does not cause.
