Answer:

(c) 2.85 cg

Explanation:

Patient A:  

- Lowest dose >> 0.3 mg x 30 days = 9 mg

Patient B:  

- Highest dose >> 1.25 mg x 30days  = 37.5 mg

Comparison of dose between patients  = 37.5 mg - 9 mg = 28.5 mg >>>  1 centigram is equivalent to ten (10) milligrams (mg), thereby the correct answer is (c) 2.85 cg
