none of the above

Explanation / Answer

Option D is correct. That is the case of Metabolic Acidosis where acid accumulates in stomach in high amount. In metabolic acidosis, hyperventilation occurs in which respiratory rate gets increase. Option b is correct. Hydrostatic pressure is higher in systemic capillaries than pulmonary capillaries. Option ‘a’ is correct. Option ‘a’ is correct. Carbohydrates are dissolvable in blood. That increase osmotic pressure if compare to water. Albumin synthesizes in liver. It is accumulation of fluid in interstitial space Both diseases are related to ascites. All of the above
