B; the pH level of our stomachs is very low, close to 2-3 which is similar to lemon juice. while bleach is very basic, close to an 8-9 on the pH scale.

Both would be below 7. More acidic substance are below 7 on the pH chart. More basic substances are above 7. Stomach acid and bleach are both extremely acidic, so they would be below 7. I hope this is helpful!
