Normal pH of urine.
A
9
B
8-8.5
C
6.5-8.0
D
3-6
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The normal values range from pH 4.6 to 8.0. The examples above are common measurements for results of these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples.

Detailed explanation-2: -The morning urine is slightly acidic (pH of 5.0 – 6.0), while the pH of urine following a meal is relatively alkaline (also referred to as alkaline tide). Generally, any number in the range of 4.5 to 8.0 is not a cause for concern. However, chronically acidic urine could indicate underlying health issues or diseases.

Detailed explanation-3: -The average urine sample tests at about 6.0, but typical urine pH may range from 4.5–8.0. The higher the number, the more basic your urine is. The lower the number, the more acidic your urine is.

Detailed explanation-4: -Each number represents a 10-fold change in the acidity/basicness of the water. Water with a pH of five is ten times more acidic than water having a pH of six. As this diagram shows, pH ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. pHs less than 7 are acidic while pHs greater than 7 are alkaline (basic).
