As we learnt in

Gastric Glands -

Parietal or oxyntic cells which secrete HCl and intrinsic factor (factor essential for absorption of vitamin B12)

-

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 B12 and its deficiency causes pernicious anaemia.

Option 2)

Mucous cells

This is incorrect.

Option 3)

Chief cells
