Explanation

The passage explicitly states: "Our body works within the pH range of 7.0 to 7.8." This is a direct fact to memorise. Note that this range is slightly alkaline (above 7), which reflects the slightly basic nature of blood and body fluids. Options A and B are too acidic; option D is too alkaline.
