C. All are correct
Step-by-step solution
The atrial wall of heart secretes peptide hormone called atrial natriuretic factor (ANF), which decreases blood pressure. The juxtaglomerular cells of kidney produce a peptide hormone called erythropoietin which stimulates erythropoiesis. Endocrine cells present in different parts of the gastrointestinal tract secrete four major peptide hormones, namely gastrin, secretin, cholecystokinin and gastric inhibitory peptide
