Correct answer: to reduce indigestion.

Explanation: Bases (alkalis) neutralize stomach acid, so they’re used in antacids (e.g., calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate). The other choices involve acids: vinegar and tart flavor come from acids, and car batteries use sulfuric acid.
