    The correct answers are a. stimulates the secretion of bile salts by the gall bladder and c. stimulates the secretion of digestive enzymes by the pancreas

    Explanation:

    Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a hormone in the digestive system that is involved in the digestion of fat and protein, and acts as a neuropeptide.

    Cholecystokinin is secreted by the I-cells of the small intestinal mucous epithelium, stimulating food rich in fats or proteins in the duodenum, causing the release of enzymes and bile from the pancreas and gall bladder.
