Solution

The correct option is B Quinine
Quinine is an alkaloid derived from the bark of the cinchona tree. It is used as an antimalarial drug and is the active ingredient in extracts of the cinchona that have been used for that purpose since before 1633. Quinine is also a mild antipyretic and analgesic and has been used in common cold preparations for that purpose.
So, the correct option is 'Quinine'.
