Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Physiologists study the functions of living organisms and their parts, including how systems like the digestive system work and how external factors like pH levels can affect these functions. This makes a physiologist the most likely investigator in an experiment focused on the effects of pH changes on enzyme function in digestion.
