Answer

Caimile is taking a caplet, and the orange coating is an inactive ingredient.
B
Caimile is taking a caplet, and the orange coating is an active ingredient.
C
Caimile is taking a capsule, and the orange coating is an inactive ingredient.
D
Caimile is taking a capsule, and the orange coating is an active ingredient.

Explanation

A caplet is a solid medication made by compressing powder, often shaped like a capsule. The orange flavor coating helps with taste rather than treating the condition, so it is an inactive ingredient. A capsule, by contrast, holds medication inside a shell.
