A. Addication
B. Teratogenecity
C. Carcinogenicity
D. Idiosyncracy
Answer: Option D
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Idiosyncracy
refers to genetically determined adverse drug reactions. It means that certain individuals may have unique and genetically determined reactions to specific drugs, which can result in unexpected and adverse effects.
Option A,
Addiction
, is not a genetically determined adverse drug reaction but rather a behavioral response to a substance.
Option B,
Teratogenicity
, refers to drugs or agents that can cause harm to a developing fetus and is not directly related to genetic factors.
Option C,
Carcinogenicity
, is the ability of a substance to cause cancer, and while genetics can play a role in cancer susceptibility, it is not a genetically determined adverse drug reaction in the same sense as idiosyncracy.
Therefore, the correct answer to this question is Option D: Idiosyncracy, as it directly relates to genetically determined adverse drug reactions.
