Answer 2

Answer:

B.) It stimulates the gallbladder to release bile and the pancreas to produce pancreatic enzymes.

Explanation:

Cholecystokinin or CCK is a hormone which is produced from the mucosal epithelial cells present in the duodenum part of the small intestine. It improves digestion by stimulating pancreas to deliver pancreatic enzymes in the duodenum and also stimulate gall bladder to release bile into the duodenum for proper digestion. It also stimulate liver to produce bile.
