Hmm, I was torn between B and C, but I think you guys have convinced me. -Antitussives it is!

You know, I was also thinking about -antihistamines, since some cough medicines have antihistamine properties. But you're probably right, -antitussives is the more specific term for cough-related drugs.

Ah, I see what you mean. Yeah, that makes sense. Cough suppressants would fall under the -antitussive category, so that's gotta be the right answer.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm guessing the answer is B) -antitussives, since that's the group name for medications that suppress cough.
