Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Parietal or oxyntic cell is a source of HCl and intrinsic factor. HCl converts iron present in diet from ferric to ferrous form so that it can be absorbed easily and used during erythropoiesis.
Intrinsic factor is essential for the absorption of vitamin `B_(12)` and its deficiency causes pernicious anaemia.
