Solution

The correct option is C
Antacid

Indigestion causes acidity in the stomach. We take antacids, which are basic in nature, to neutralise the acidity. However, they cannot treat more serious problems like appendicitis, stomach ulcer, etc. Example of antacids are aluminium hydroxide, magnesium carbonate, etc.
