Solution
The correct option is B Immuno suppressants
Immunosuppressants are drugs or medicines that lower the body's ability to reject a transplanted organ. Another term for these drugs is anti-rejection drugs. After an organ transplant, the patient needs to take immunosuppressant (anti-rejection) drugs. These drugs help prevent the immune system from attacking ("rejecting") the donor organ. Typically, they are taken for the lifetime of your transplanted organ. Other medications are taken to help the anti-rejection drugs do their job or control their side effects. Patients may also need to take medications for other health conditions.
