The correct answer is C.

The hormones that control digestion are gastrin, secretin and cholecystokinin. Secretin is stimulated by intestinal acid at the duodenal level. Its effect inhibits gastric acid secretion, prostaglandin secretion and via somatostatin release. It decreases gastric emptying and stimulates bile and pancreatic bicarbonate secretion.

Naily [24]

Answer;

Mendel's work was not well known until many years after Darwin published his theory of evolution

-Gregor Mendel had the answer to Darwin's problem. Traits were not blended, but inherited whole. And according to Mendel's laws of inheritance, a trait that might disappear in one generation might reappear in the following generation. Modern Neo-Darwinism combines both Darwin's and Mendel's work.
