Incorrect:
Option (B) Ibuprofen is an over-the-counter pain reliever. It belongs to a group of pain relievers called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and can be used for toothache, and migraine.
Option (C) Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body. Naproxen is used to treat pain or inflammation caused by arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, tendonitis, bursitis, gout, or menstrual cramps. It may also be used to treat acute pain caused by other conditions not listed in this medication guide. Delayed-release or extended-release tablets are slower-acting forms of naproxen that are only used to treat chronic conditions such as arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis. These forms do not work quickly enough to treat acute pain.
Option (D) Aspirin belongs to the group of salicylates. It works by blocking the production of certain natural substances that cause fever, pain, swelling and blood clots. Aspirin is also available in combination with other medications, such as antacids, pain relievers, and cough and cold medications.
