Based on your description of the graph showing the effect of pH on pepsin activity, the best response would be:
**Pepsin functions best in acidic environments.**
Pepsin is known to have optimal activity at a low pH, typically around pH 1.5 to 2, which aligns with the statement that it functions best in acidic environments.
**Pepsin functions best in acidic environments.**
Pepsin is known to have optimal activity at a low pH, typically around pH 1.5 to 2, which aligns with the statement that it functions best in acidic environments.
