Solution

The correct option is A increases
Indigestion is caused when the amount of hydrochloric acid in the stomach increases. So, to counter the increase in the amount of acid we should intake a base. Therefore, milk of magnesia, which is a base, when taken during indigestion helps in relieving indigestion.
