Correct Answer: HCO3- and H2CO3


Solution : The correct option is HCO3- and H2CO3.

The carbonic acid (H2CO3), and bicarbonate anion (HCO3-) buffer system in the blood that maintains a stable pH is crucial for physiological processes. Deviations beyond pH 7.8, or below 6.8 can be life-threatening, highlighting the vital role of this buffer in preventing extreme acidity, or alkalinity that could lead to death.
