Explanation:

To determine the medication that benefits both major depressive disorder (MDD) and ADHD, we analyze each option:

• Fluoxetine: SSRI, mainly for depression, OCD, etc., not for ADHD.
• Sertraline: SSRI, treats depression, anxiety, not ADHD.
• Bupropion: Antidepressant (norepinephrine - dopamine reuptake inhibitor) and has been shown to help with ADHD symptoms by affecting neurotransmitters involved in attention and focus.
• Venlafaxine: SNRI, treats depression and anxiety, not typically used for ADHD.

C. Bupropion
