Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
A medication trade name or brand name is used to market the medication.The trade name has the symbol ™ at the upper right of the name,indicating a manufacturer's trademark for the name (e.g. ,Panadol™,Tempra™,and Tylenol™).The chemical name describes the medication's composition and molecular structure,such as N-acetyl-para-aminophenol,commonly known as Tylenol.The chemical name rarely is used in clinical practice.A manufacturer who first develops a medication gives the generic name of a medication.Acetaminophen is the generic name for Tylenol.The generic name is the official name that is listed in official publications such as the United States Pharmacopeia (USP).The USP is a drug book that lists all drugs by generic name.
