Blood is.
A
Acidic
B
Alkaline
C
Neutral
D
Like a buffer
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Your blood has a normal pH range of 7.35 to 7.45. This means that blood is naturally slightly alkaline or basic. In comparison, your stomach acid has a pH of around 1.5 to 3.5. This makes it acidic.

Detailed explanation-2: -The human body carefully maintains the pH of blood at about 7.35, which is slightly alkaline, or basic.

Detailed explanation-3: -Decreased carbon dioxide (an acid) level or increased bicarbonate (a base) level makes the body too alkaline, a condition called alkalosis. There are different types of alkalosis. These are described below. Respiratory alkalosis is caused by a low carbon dioxide level in the blood.

Detailed explanation-4: -Human blood is slightly alkaline between pH 7.35 to 7.45 and it is salty due to break down of sodium and chloride ions in blood from our food. The salt we consume in our food dissociates into sodium and chloride ions.

Detailed explanation-5: -What is a Normal Blood pH? The most ideal pH balance is 7.4, which means that it is slightly more alkaline than acid. Only when the pH level is balance that our bodies can then effectively assimilate vitamins, minerals and food supplements. As such, our body pH’s determines everything.
