Solution
The correct option is D Sodium cromoglycate The anti-allergens are the molecules which are used for the prevention or treatment of allergic reactions. Sodium cromoglycate is commonly used as an anti-allergen. The drug inhibits the process of degranulation of the mast cells and basophils. This prevents the release of histamines and leukotrienes which are the inflammatory agents.
