d. blood acidity is reduced by excess breathing

Explanation:

Alkalosis is a condition that occurs when blood acidity is reduced by excessive breathing thereby leading to a state of accumulation of too much bases in the blood. it occurs majorly when there are excess blood levels of bicarbonate (making the blood have a pH higher than 7.5) or the blood to become deficient in carbonic acids. The symptoms experienced by patients who develop alkalosis include vomiting, nausea, light headedness e. t. c it genrally leads to body pain and cramps. the four major types of alkalosis are: respiratory, metabolic, hypochlomeric and hypokalemic alkalosis.
