Reduction in pH of blood will:

  1. A
    Reduce the blood supply to the brain
  2. B
    Decrease the affinity of hemoglobin with oxygen
  3. C
    Release bicarbonate ions by the liver
  4. D
    Reduce the rate of heart beat

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

A reduction in blood pH (increased acidity or concentration) or an increase in shifts the oxygen-dissociation curve to the right (Bohr effect), which decreases the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen, facilitating oxygen release to tissues.
