The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the correctness of the statements A-D, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement A: "The stomach stores the food for 4-5 hours."** - This statement is **true**. The stomach does indeed store food temporarily for about 4 to 5 hours before it moves into the small intestine for further digestion. 2. **Statement B: "The food mixes thoroughly with the acidic intestinal juice."** - This statement is **false**. The intestinal juice is actually alkaline, not acidic. Therefore, the mixing of food with intestinal juice is not described accurately in this statement. 3. **Statement C: "Trypsinogen is activated by an enzyme enterogastrone, secreted by the intestinal mucosa."** - This statement is **false**. Trypsinogen is activated by the enzyme enterokinase, not enterogastrone. Enterogastrone is involved in inhibiting gastric activities, not in the activation of trypsinogen. 4. **Statement D: "Renin is an enzyme found in gastric juice of infants which helps in digestion of milk protein."** - This statement is **false**. The correct term is "renin," which is indeed involved in the digestion of milk proteins in infants. However, the term used in the statement is misleading as it could confuse it with the renin involved in blood pressure regulation. The enzyme that digests milk proteins in infants is correctly referred to as "renin" but the context here is misleading. ### Summary of Findings: - **True Statements:** 1 (Statement A) - **False Statements:** 3 (Statements B, C, and D) ### Conclusion: Out of the four statements, **three statements are wrong**. ### Final Answer: **3 statements are wrong.** ---
