The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the treatment with antacids like Al and Mg hydroxide, we need to analyze the options provided in relation to how antacids function. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Antacids**: Antacids are basic substances that neutralize gastric acid (hydrochloric acid) in the stomach. They are commonly used to relieve symptoms of acidity, such as heartburn and indigestion. 2. **Function of Antacids**: The primary function of antacids is to alleviate the symptoms caused by excess stomach acid. They do this by increasing the pH level in the stomach, which reduces the acidity. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **I. Only symptoms of acidity**: This option suggests that antacids only address the symptoms, which is true. Antacids do not treat the underlying causes of acidity. - **II. Only cause of acidity**: This option is incorrect because antacids do not target the causes of acidity; they only relieve symptoms. - **III. Both symptoms and cause of acidity**: This option is also incorrect as antacids do not address the root cause of acidity. - **IV. Specialized cellular receptors**: While antacids may interact with certain receptors in the stomach, their primary role is not to target these receptors but to neutralize acid. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct option is **I. Only symptoms of acidity**. Antacids like Al and Mg hydroxide primarily alleviate the symptoms associated with excess gastric acid without treating the underlying causes. ### Final Answer: **I. Only symptoms of acidity**
