Antacids are classified into systemic and non-systemic types. Which of the following statements correctly distinguishes their chemical behavior and physiological impact on the human body?

Options:

• A: Non-systemic antacids like Sodium Bicarbonate are highly soluble and absorbed into the bloodstream, causing systemic alkalosis.
• B: Systemic antacids like Sodium Bicarbonate are soluble and readily absorbed, potentially causing systemic alkalosis, whereas non-systemic antacids like Magnesium Hydroxide act locally in the gastrointestinal tract with minimal systemic absorption.
• C: Systemic antacids form insoluble coatings on the stomach wall, while non-systemic antacids are absorbed and act as blood buffers.
• D: Non-systemic antacids produce large amounts of carbon dioxide gas causing gastric distension, whereas systemic antacids do not produce any gas.
