The answer is none of the provided options are correct.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Antacids coat the lining of the stomach.

    • Incorrect: Antacids work by neutralizing stomach acid to provide relief from symptoms, but they do not coat the lining of the stomach.
  2. Omeprazole will coat the ulcer to help it heal.

    • Incorrect: Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the production of stomach acid, which helps in healing ulcers, but it does not coat the ulcer.
  3. Sucralfate changes the acidity of fluid in the stomach.

    • Incorrect: Sucralfate works by forming a protective barrier over ulcers, protecting them from stomach acid and aiding in healing. It does not change the acidity of the stomach fluid.

Summary: None of the provided options correctly describe the actions of the medications mentioned in the context of peptic ulcer disease.
