Correct answer: D). Damage to nerves that control the stomach

Gastroparesis is a medical condition in which the stomach is unable to empty its food. it is mainly caused due to damage caused to the vagus nerve, it is a nerve that regulates the digestive system.

The major cause of gastroparesis includes uncontrolled diabetes, multiple sclerosis, gastric surgery that cause injury to the vagus nerve and use of antidepressants etc.
