(D) Excess secretion of an enzyme

Answer 1

Hint: Doctor treated Raju with antibiotics because antibiotics are medicines that help humans to prevent them from infections caused by bacteria. They are doing this by killing the bacteria or by keeping them from copying themselves or reproducing.

Complete step by step answer:
Raju was suffering severe stomach pain because there was Growth of Helicobacter pylori in his stomach which caused infection in that particular area and caused peptic ulcers. The peptic ulcers are the open sores that develop on the inside lining of the stomach and also the upper portion of your intestine. The foremost common symptom of an ulcer is stomach pain. Other common symptoms of a peptic ulcer include: changes in appetite, nausea, bloody or dark stools, unexplained weight loss, indigestion, vomiting, and sometimes chest pain is also seen.

So, the correct answer is ‘Growth of Helicobacter pylori’.

Additional Information: Peptic ulcers include two types of ulcers, which are as follows:
- Gastric ulcers that occur on the inside walls of the stomach
- Duodenal ulcers that occur on the inside walls of the upper portion of your intestine (duodenum)
The most commonly seen and noticed causes of peptic ulcers are infection with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) and long- term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (Aleve).

Note: The word antibiotic means “against life.” It is a myth that Stress and spicy foods cause peptic ulcers but that fact is that Stress and spicy foods do not cause peptic ulcers. But if you have peptic ulcers, spicy foods should be avoided to heal the ulcers quickly.
