Each class of chemical is named by its use: artificial sweeteners give sweetness without calories, antihistamines block histamine, non-narcotic analgesics relieve pain without addiction, and antiseptics are applied to living tissues to kill micro-organisms.
(A) Artificial sweetener — This matches (III) Alitame. Alitame is a high potency sweetener, more stable than aspartame.
(B) Antihistamines — This matches (IV) Terfenadine. Terfenadine (seldane) and brompheniramine act as antihistamines.
(C) Aspirin — This matches (II) Non-narcotic. Aspirin and paracetamol are non-narcotic (non-addictive) analgesics.
(D) Antiseptics — This matches (I) Furacine. Furacine and soframicine are antiseptics applied to wounds and cuts.
