antacid is basic in nature , higher the strength of antacid , higher the power of neutralisation.
we use antacid in case of acidity , indigestion etc..
there are lot of types of antacid , such as sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) =>power of neutralisation is low,
aluminium hydroxide Al(OH)3 => power of neutralisation is modest.
magnesium hydroxide Mg(OH)2, it is also known as milk of magnesia => power of neutralisation is high.
calcium carbonate CaCO3 => power of neutralisation is very high.
here from option , only (a) milk of magnesia is satisfied the characters of antacid.
so, option (a) is correct.
