Solution

The correct option is A 14
pH is a numerical value ranging from 0 to 14 that indicates whether a given substance is acidic, basic or neutral.

Q. The pH scale measures how acidic or basic a substance is. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. A pH of 7 is neutral. A pH less than 7 is acidic. A pH greater than 7 is basic. It is carefully regulated by a number of homeostatic mechanisms, which exert their influence principally through the respiratory system and the urinary system in order to control the acid-base balance and respiration. What is the normal pH level of blood of a normal person?
