Answer 1

Answer:

A! Their stomach produces less hydrochloric acid.

Explanation:

Older folks cannot absorb B-12 from their food as easily as those who are younger. Hyrdolochic acid helps break down and split up proteins. When they get older, their stomachs produce less. Meanwhile, they may have enough B-12 in their diet, they may be falling short on their intake.
