The correct answer is option C, that is, high potential for harm and abuse.

Prescription drugs are generally the strong medicines, that is, why they need a prescription in the initial place. Every medicine exhibit some kind of harmful influences, on certain occasions they are the serious ones as well.

The doctors suggest the potential risks and benefits to each and every patient prior of prescribing the medicines and take into account various factors, and when they are misused, they can be as harmful and dangerous as the drugs, which are considered illegal. The misuse of prescription drug has turned into a big public health issue, as misuse can result in addiction, and even death if taken as an overdose.
