Solution

The correct option is A Antacids
Excess of acid production in the stomach may result in the problems like gastritis and indigestion of food which may result in vomiting. Gastritis is the inflammation of the cell lining of the stomach due to the acid. Antacid acts by neutralizing the acid in the stomach. The antacid increases the pH of the stomach. This helps the process of digestion to occur at normal conditions and treat the problems like gastritis, heartburn and flatulence.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
