Solution

The hormone gastrin is not secreted in response to a decrease in pH of the stomach contents. Gastrin is actually stimulated by an increase in the pH of the stomach. When the pH of the stomach is too high (meaning it's not acidic enough), gastrin is secreted to stimulate the production of gastric acid to lower the pH. So, the correct answer is e. a decrease in pH of the stomach contents.
