Answer Key / Explanation : (d) -

(d)

Goblet cells are present in the columnar epithelium of the mammalian intestine and secrete mucin, a mucoprotein that forms mucus when in solution. If Goblet cells become non-functional, this will adversely affect smooth movement of food downwards the intestine due to absence of mucin.
