Choose the correct answer from the options given below

We need to match each type of drug with its function.

Recall the definitions.

(A) Antipyretic: The prefix "anti" means against, and "pyretic" relates to "pyrexia" (fever). So antipyretics are drugs that reduce fever. Examples: Aspirin, Paracetamol.

$$\Rightarrow$$ Matches with (III) Reduces fever

(B) Analgesic: The word comes from Greek "an" (without) and "algos" (pain). So analgesics are drugs that reduce pain. Examples: Aspirin, Morphine.

$$\Rightarrow$$ Matches with (I) Reduces pain

(C) Tranquilizer: Tranquilizers are drugs that calm the mind and reduce stress, anxiety, and tension. Examples: Valium, Chlordiazepoxide.

$$\Rightarrow$$ Matches with (II) Reduces stress

(D) Antacid: The prefix "ant" means against, and "acid" refers to stomach acid. So antacids are drugs that reduce acidity in the stomach. Examples: Ranitidine, Aluminium hydroxide.

$$\Rightarrow$$ Matches with (IV) Reduces acidity (stomach)

Write the final matching.

A - III, B - I, C - II, D - IV

The correct answer is Option A.
