Correct answer is d .
Explanation:Stomach also secretes hydrochloric acid having a pH less than 7 creating an acidic environment. The pH of the gastric juices in the stomach is in the range of 2-5 which is slightly acidic in nature. The acidic environment of the stomach aids the proteases (protein breaking enzymes) to break down proteins easily. Diet intake with more of alkaline foods is recommended to maintain a neutral environment inside the stomach.
