The correct answer is Parietal Cells.

Parietal cells, located in the gastric glands of the stomach lining, secrete hydrogen ions (H+) and chloride ions (Cl-), which combine in the gastric lumen to form hydrochloric acid (HCl). This acid is essential for digestion and helps maintain the acidic environment of the stomach.
