• A. oxalic acid, acetic acid
• B. oxalic acid, tartaric acid
• C. tartaric acid, oxalic acid
• D. tartaric acid, acetic acid

Answer 1

The correct option is D tartaric acid, acetic acid

Acids have a property that they taste sour, thus some natural sour substances do have acids in them.

Tamarinds are known to have tartaric acid in them due to which they taste sour, and vinegar is 3-9% acetic acid and rest all is water.

These are some examples of acid that are used in daily life.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).
