Answer:

B) The normal pH of blood is 6.8 to 7.0.

Explanation:

The blood pH under normal health conditions is between 7.35 and 7.45. Below this range, blood pH is considered more acidic than normal, and it may indicate that the body is eliminating a lower amount of [tex]CO{2}[/tex] than normal, or that there is a decrease in the concentration of [tex]HCO{3-}[/tex] or accumulation of acid in the blood due to poisoning or disease.
