The human body, particularly blood, maintains a very narrow pH range for proper functioning.

The normal pH range of human blood is slightly alkaline, typically between 7.35 and 7.45. Among the given options, the range of 7.0 – 7.8 is the one that correctly encompasses the typical physiological pH range.

Significant deviations from this narrow pH range can lead to severe health problems. For example, a pH below 7.35 is called acidosis, and a pH above 7.45 is called alkalosis. The body uses buffer systems (like the bicarbonate buffer system) to maintain this delicate pH balance.
