Which acid is used in the body to help digestion?

  • A.Boric acid
  • B.Sulphuric acid
  • C.Hydrochloric acid
  • D.Acetic acid

Answer: C

Hydrochloric acid is secreted by the stomach to aid digestion. It brings the stomach contents to about pH 1.5 to 3.5.

That acidity activates pepsinogen into pepsin, which digests protein, and it also kills most swallowed bacteria.
