Answer:

None of the listed answers is correct

Explanation:

During normal digestion,  the esophagus  which is a muscle ring called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) opens to allow food to pass into the stomach and then quickly closes to prevent backflow into the esophagus. When the LES has a malfunction, contents from the stomach, including food and digestive juices, such as hydrochloric acid, can push up into the esophagus creating gastric acid.
