HCL is the most common acid produced in the human body.
The human stomach contains of cells which produces hydrochloric acid, or what is commonly known as HCL.
This is an component of the digestive system as it secretes gastric juice that helps to digest food and also break food into smaller pieces so that they could be easily digested.
Another major role of Hydrochloric acid is that the component helps the stomach to maintain its acidic environment.

Answer:
The correct answer is H₂CO₃ (carbonic acid).
It formed when carbon dioxide reacts with water in presence of carbonic anhydrase. The same enzyme then converts carbonic acid into bicarbonate ions (HCO₃⁻).
These reactions takes place in blood and helps in transportation of CO₂ from cells or tissues to the alveolar site through blood.
In addition, they form the bicarnoate buffer system of the blood which helps in regulating the pH of the blood by regulating the amount of CO₂, carbonic acid, and bicarbonate ions in the blood.
