3. parietal cell...bcz of decreased acid....chief cell scerets pepsinogen which need acid H+ to become active pepsin...

Pepsin work in acidic medium , for its fuction pH should be 3, pepsin digest protein and in this patient meal mostly protein, so maldigestion of protein will occur . so ans should be cheif cell.
