- D. CaSO4
Explanation
Milk of magnesia is a suspension of magnesium hydroxide, with the chemical formula Mg(OH)2. It is an effective antacid that neutralizes stomach acid, providing relief from heartburn and indigestion. The reaction with stomach acid produces magnesium chloride and water, which reduces acidity. The other options, MgSO4, Ca(OH)2, and CaSO4, either have different uses or are not suitable for treating stomach acidity.
