I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. The enzyme pepsin that is present in the stomach denature in the intestine due to the alkaline environment of the intestine. This is because pepsin has an optimum pH that is very low which is ideal for the acidic conditions of the stomach.

Increased water volume causes the hydrostatic pressure in plasma to increase and the osmotic pressure to decrease; as a result,
lapo4ka [179]

When there is an increase in water volume in plasma, it causes the hydrostatic pressure in plasma to increase and the osmotic pressure to decrease and as a result, water will move out of plasma.

<h3>How does increased water volume affect hydrostatic pressure in plasma</h3>

When water volume in plasma increases, the hydrostatic pressure will increase.

Increase in water volume will result in a decrease in the osmotic pressure of plasma due to dilution of the solutes in plasma.

Therefore, to maintain homeostasis, water will move out of the plasma by simple diffusion and osmosis.

Therefore, increased water volume causes the hydrostatic pressure in plasma to increase and the osmotic pressure to decrease and as a result, water will move out of plasma.
