Solution

The correct option is B

Stomach


The inner lining of the stomach secretes mucous, hydrochloric acid and digestive juices. The acid content of the stomach helps in digestion whereas the mucous content of the secretions help to protect the wall of the stomach from its own acid. Acidity refers to a set of symptoms caused by an imbalance between the acid secreting mechanism of the stomach and the protective mechanisms. When there is an excess production of acid by the gastric glands of the stomach, it results in the condition known as acidity.
