Vigorous exercise would not be a wise choice to counteract acidosis as it would increase the production of acid in the body rather than reducing it. The other options (A, B, and C) would be helpful in counteracting acidosis. Intravenous administration of bicarbonate is a common and effective way of treating acidosis. Hyperventilating and breathing into a paper bag both help in regulating the pH of the blood by either increasing or decreasing the levels of carbon dioxide in the body.
