Question

which of the following is required of a new drug? a. it must help cure a disease. b. it must be in liquid form. c. it must bind to a virus. d. it must be easy to swallow.

Explanation:

A new drug's primary purpose is to address health issues, which often involves helping to cure a disease. Options B (liquid form), C (binding to a virus - which is too narrow as not all drugs target viruses), and D (easy to swallow - more about administration convenience rather than a core requirement) are not as fundamental as the curative aspect.

Answer:

A. It must help cure a disease.
