A gastric biopsy is taken from a 42-year-old man. As the pathologist inspects the specimen, he observes numerous, normal cuboidal-to-columnar cells with apical membrane-bound secretion granules in the gastric glands. From which area of the stomach was the biopsy most likely taken? A. Cardiac region B. Columns of Morgagni C. Fundic region D. Greater omentum E. Pyloric region
