Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Motling refers to the uneven distribution of colour on a tablet's surface, where the colour is not uniformly spread across the entire tablet. This may occur due to factors such as improper mixing or inconsistent coating during the tablet manufacturing process.
- Lamination refers to the process of applying a thin layer or coating over the tablet.
- Capping refers to the formation of a cap
-like structure on the tablet's surface.
- Picking refers to the removal of small pieces of coating from the tablet surface. Thus, the correct term for uneven distribution of colour is Motling.
