Solution

The correct option is D
Bananas

Banana has a large amount of alkaline content. As a result, it helps to neutralize the excess acid produced due to the consumption of too many green chillies. The stomach produces hydrochloric acid which helps in digestion. When acid rich food (chilli, lemon, orange, grape) is consumed, the amount of acid produced is increased. This results in peptic ulcer. For example:

Oranges contain ascorbic acid, also known as vitamin C.

Lemons contains citric acid and malic acid.

Grapes contains tartaric, malic, and to a small extent citric acid.
