Quinine is a white crystalline alkaloid, having antipyretic (fever-reducing), antimalarial, analgesic (pain-killing) and anti-inflammatory properties and a bitter taste. It is a stereoisomer of quinidine, which unlike quinine, is an antiarrhythmic. Quinine contains two major fused-ring systems: the aromatic quinoline and the bicyclic quinuclidine. Quinine occurs naturally in the bark of the Cinchona tree, though it has also been synthesized in the laboratory. So, quinine is mainly used in medicinal field. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
