The correct answer is C. Leptin is a satiety hormone secreted from the pancreas.

Explanation:

Leptin similar to hormones such as bombesin and neuropeptide is essential for appetite. Leptin is mainly secreted from the small intestine by the absorptive and adipose cells. Besides this, Leptin regulates hunger by inhibiting it which regulates weight and therefore, stops organisms from consuming more food than the one it is required. Indeed, it is believed conditions such as obesity are related to resistance to leptin.

According to this, the statement "Leptin is a satiety hormone secreted from the pancreas" is the false statement because this hormone is secreted from the intestine rather than the pancreas.
