Detailed Solution

The pH of gastric juice is 2.

The gastric juice comprises HCL, pepsin, and lipase. Pepsin is a protein-digesting enzyme, secreted in the stomach. Lipase breaks fats into fatty acids. Presence of HCl makes the pH of gastric juice acidic between 1.3 to 3.5. The activation of these enzymes and absorption of nutrients relies on an acidic pH in the stomach.

Hence the correct answer is option C.
