A is the answer and there is no winner to this question.
Details below:
Thyroxine, levothyroxine, is a thyroid hormone used in hypothyroidism.
Because it increases metabolic rate, it should be taken in the morning to
minimise the occurrence of insomnia. Common side-effects of metformin are
gastrointestinal, such as nausea and vomiting. By taking the tablet with or after
food, these side-effects are minimised. Dipyridamole should be taken three
times daily before food, as dipyridamole is incompletely absorbed from the
gastrointestinal tract.
