Answer: (a)

The proteins inside the mouth establish an acidic environment. Stomach additionally secretes hydrochloric acid (pH under 7) establishing an acidic climate.

The pH of the gastric juices in the stomach is in the range of 2-5 which is somewhat acidic in nature. The acidic climate of the stomach helps the protein breaking catalysts to separate proteins without any problem. Diet consumption with a greater amount of antacid nourishments is prescribed to keep an impartial climate inside the stomach.

Our stomach produces hydrochloric acid (of pH about 1.4).
