Answer
A
The brand name drug is available.
B
There are no appropriate "A" code drugs.
C
The drug company prefers to sell the brand-name drug.
D
The prescription states DAW.
E
The patient wants to save money.

Explanation

Substitution is prevented when there is no appropriate “A”-rated drug to use as a therapeutically equivalent alternative, or when the prescriber marks the prescription “DAW” (dispense as written). The brand-name drug simply being available does not prevent substitution, and the drug company’s preference does not determine whether a pharmacist may substitute. A patient’s wish to save money may favor substitution rather than prevent it.
