Answer #1

Answer is c)sofosbuvir. Direct acting antivirals(DAA) are the latest drug of choice for hepatitis C, because of its fewer side effects and shorter treatment time. So for a newly diagnosed hepatitis patient, this is the best option. sofosbuvir is the most effective drug which comes under DAA in combination with other drugs ( e.g ledipasvir,velpatasvir)

Instead of interferon,the standared therapy for hepatitis C is pegylated interferone .

Pegasys and Rebetol are best when used in combination with each other.pegasys can only take alone ,when the patient cannot take rebetol.
