Solution
The correct option is D antacid
The excess acid in the stomach causes indigestion which produces pain and irritation. In order to cure indigestion, bases called 'antacids' are taken.
Antacids are a group of mild bases which have no toxic effects on the body. Being basic in nature, antacids react with excess acid in the stomach and neutralise it.
Hence, option ‘C’ is correct.
