The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) is commonly used as a film-forming agent but not specifically for enteric coating. In contrast, cellulose acetate phthalate, shellac, and Eudragit L are used in enteric formulations to resist dissolution in the stomach.
