A sting from insect X has a pH of 6 and a sting from insect Y has a pH of 8. The table shows the pH of four substances.
Which substances are used to treat the two stings?
A X = hydrochloric acid; Y = sodium hydroxide
B X = sodium hydrogen carbonate ; Y = vinegar
C X = sodium hydroxide ; Y = hydrochloric acid
D X = vinegar ; Y = sodium hydrogen carbonate
