Solution

The correct option is A Antihistamine

Antihistamines are defined as drugs that combat the histamine in the body that are used for treating allergic reactions and cold symptoms. Histamine is a chemical messenger involved in a number of complex biological reactions. When a foreign body such as pollens enters the body, the immune system believes those substances to be harmful and generates the release of histamine.
