If the pH is too low in the stomach, it will denature the proteins that usually break down food. The major enzyme in the stomach is pepsin, which breaks down proteins in the food we eat. Therefore, the answer is the second statement, "Decrease in pH of the stomach will distort the active site of the enzyme pepsin, which affects its action." Hope this helps! :)
