Answer: C
Magnesium hydroxide is used as an antacid.
Mg(OH)2 is a mild base, sold as milk of magnesia. Taken by mouth it neutralises excess hydrochloric acid in the stomach, relieving acidity and indigestion:

It is neither an oxidizing nor a reducing agent in this use, since no electrons are transferred in neutralisation, and it has no role in fermentation.
