The answer is the second one (B): anti-inflammatory.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Antihistamine: This type of medication is typically used to treat allergic reactions by blocking histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergy symptoms. It is not used for treating a sprained ankle.
  2. Anti-inflammatory: This type of medication is used to reduce inflammation, which includes symptoms such as pain, redness, and heat. It is appropriate for treating a sprained ankle.
  3. Antibiotic: This type of medication is used to treat bacterial infections. A sprained ankle is not caused by bacteria, so antibiotics would not be appropriate.
  4. Antiparasitic: This type of medication is used to treat infections caused by parasites. A sprained ankle is not caused by parasites, so antiparasitic medications would not be appropriate.

Summary: The appropriate type of medication to treat a sprained ankle that exhibits pain, redness, and heat is an anti-inflammatory.
