Solution

The correct option is A Hypercapnia
Hypercapnia will rapidly cause an intracellular acidosis in all cells in the body. It can easily combine with water to form carbonic acid which increases the acidity of blood on accumulation. It is also known as hypercarbia. It is a condition of abnormally elevated carbon dioxide levels in the blood.
So, the correct answer is option A.
