A bee sting contains an acidic substance. Which substance is more suitable to reduce the pain?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Baking soda solution

The discomfort from a bee sting is commonly treated in this school-level context as the effect of an acidic substance. Baking soda, sodium hydrogen carbonate, is a mild base. Applied appropriately, it can partially neutralise the acidic material and reduce irritation. Vinegar, lemon juice, and hydrochloric acid are acidic, so they would not neutralise the sting. Therefore option A is the best answer under the stated neutralisation principle; actual stings should still receive suitable first aid.
