Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cholecystokinin is a hormone produced in the duodenum by enteroendocrine cells. Its main function is to stimulate the gastrointestinal system to digest fat and protein.

To accomplish that, it stimulates the pancreas to release digestive enzymes and the gallbladder to release bile.
