Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is characterized by the movement of contents back into the esophagus, leading to symptoms such as heartburn. Peptic ulcer disease (A) is a condition where there is erosion in the stomach lining or duodenum. Heartburn (C) is a symptom of GERD, not a condition itself. Gastritis (D) is inflammation of the stomach lining, which can cause symptoms such as nausea and vomiting.
