• D. None of these

Hint:

Antipyretics like paracetamol or ibuprofen are used to reduce fever and bring the body temperature back to normal.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understand the meaning of Antipyretic.
Antipyretic is a substance that reduces fever. It works by lowering the body temperature. Common examples include paracetamol and ibuprofen.
Step 2: Understand the other options.
- Analgesics relieve pain but do not necessarily lower body temperature. - Antibiotics fight bacterial infections but do not directly influence fever. - "None of these" is incorrect because Antipyretic is the correct term.
