Correct Answer is: (C) Anti-pyretic 

• The antipyretic analgesics are so named because they combine an analgesic action with the ability to lower body temperature in fever (pyrexia). 

• In fact, most drugs in this group combine analgesic and antipyretic properties with anti-inflammatory properties. 

• Paracetamol is a widely available pain-relieving drug.
