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.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
