The answer is D because the pH is like 7.36 about, so it is not exactly 7 so its not neutral, so that means it is slightly basic

Ideally, the pH of the blood should be maintained at 7.4. If the pH drops below 6.8 or rises above 7.8, death may occur. Fortunately, we have buffers in the blood to protect against large changes in pH.
So, in order to answer your answer, we would need more information since it depends on the health of the person or it's present "physical" situation. For example, if a person is drawning (lack of oxygen and buildup of CO2), acidosis of the blood occurs and the pH goes down.

The pH of blood is about 7.4 (slightly basic). Blood pH levels below 6.8 and above 7.8 can cause death.
