Answer:

This question is not complete but the completed question is below

Acids naturally present in food are safe to eat because they usually are

A. Weak

B. concentrated

C. dilute

D. strong

The correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Acids that are naturally found in food are organic acids. Organic acids are generally known to be weak acids. An acid is a substance that produces hydrogen ion or hydroxonium ion when dissolved in water.

A weak acid however ionizes partially (not releasing all its possible hydrogen ions) in water. Weak acids have pH that are close to neutral (pH 7) and hence are safe for consumption.
