peptic ulcer
C

D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is characterized by discontinuation in the inner lining of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract because of gastric acid secretion or pepsin. It extends into the muscularis propria layer of the gastric epithelium. It usually occurs in the stomach and proximal duodenum.

Detailed explanation-2: -The main cause of this damage is infection with bacteria called Helicobacter pylori, or H. pylori. The bacteria can cause the lining of your duodenum to become inflamed and an ulcer can form. Some medications can also cause duodenal ulcers, particularly anti-inflammatory medicines such as ibuprofen and aspirin.

Detailed explanation-3: -A classification of gastric ulcers is suggested: Type I, true gastric ulcers; Type II, combined gastric and duodenal ulcers; Type III, suprapyloric and pyloric ulcers; Type IV, multiple ulcers of the stomach; Type V, secondary gastric ulcers.
