Solution

The correct option is C Azidothymidine
Antiretroviral medicine zidovudine, commonly known as azidothymidine, is used to prevent and cure HIV/AIDS. It's usually safe to combine it with other antiretrovirals. It could be used to prevent mother-to-child transmission during labour and delivery, as well as after a needlestick injury or other possible exposure.
