Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To match the schedules with their correct descriptions, let's analyze each one:-

1. Schedule H: This schedule includes a list of prescription drugs that require a doctor's prescription for dispensing. Matches with Description III - List of Prescription Drugs.
2. Schedule G: This schedule covers drugs that must be used under the guidance of a Registered Medical Practitioner (RMP). Matches with Description II - Drugs used under RMP.

4. Schedule F2: This schedule relates to the standards and quality requirements for surgical dressings. Matches with Description IV - Standards for surgical dressing.

Therefore, the correct match is: $ \text{P-III, Q-II, R-I, S-IV} $.
