C. Our body works within the pH range of 7.0 to 7.8.

Show ExplanationHide Explanation

Explanation

NCERT gives 7.0–7.8 as its broad textbook statement about the human body, making C the intended answer in that context. This is not a universal healthy pH interval for every body fluid. The same text uses below 5.6 for acid rain and about 5.5 for tooth-enamel demineralisation, rather than the values in B and D.
