- E) 1 ,11 and111
The correct answer is (D) 11 and 111 only.
Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach. It is used to treat conditions such as heartburn, acid reflux, and peptic ulcers. It is not a gastric stimulant.
Cisapride and metoclopramide are both gastric stimulants. They work by increasing the movement of food through the digestive tract. They are used to treat conditions such as gastroparesis and vomiting.
Therefore, the only agents that are employed as gastric stimulants are 11. Cisapride and 111. Metoclopramide.

- C) 1 and 11 only: This is incorrect because metoclopramide is also a gastric stimulant.
- E) 1 ,11 and111: This is incorrect because omeprazole is not a gastric stimulant.
