Question 2 • FL-2000310-Biology 1 B

Jamal was cutting the grass and started to sneeze because of the pollen. Which type of medication should he take?

Answer
A
antihistamine
B
antibiotic
C
antifungal
D
antiviral

Explanation

Pollen can trigger an allergic reaction, causing symptoms such as sneezing. Antihistamines help relieve allergy symptoms by blocking the effects of histamine, a chemical involved in the reaction. Antibiotics, antifungals, and antivirals treat infections rather than pollen allergies, so the correct choice is antihistamine.
