A 37-year-old man comes to the physician because of progressive heartburn over the past 6 months. The symptoms are most severe after eating large or spicy meals and are partially relieved with antacid therapy. An endoscopic biopsy specimen of the lower esophagus shows esophagitis. The most likely cause of the esophageal changes is a substance secreted by which of the following cell types?

A) Chief cells
B) G (gastrin) cells
C) Goblet cells
D) Mucous cells
E) Parietal cells
