Which one keeps the acid-base balance in the body?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a Liver
  2. b Stomach
  3. c Small intestine
  4. d Kidney
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: d Kidney

The kidney keeps the balance of acid and base in the body.

Why the other options are wrong

  • a Liver: The liver makes bile; it is the kidney that keeps the acid-base balance.
  • b Stomach: The stomach takes part in digestion, not in acid-base balance.
  • c Small intestine: The small intestine absorbs digested food; it does not keep the acid-base balance.
