Answer 1

Intravenous injection

Step-by-step explanation:

Intravenous injection is the route of administration that gets drugs into the bloodstream the fastest.

When a drug is administered intravenously, it is directly injected into a vein, bypassing the digestive system and allowing for rapid absorption into the bloodstream.

This method provides almost immediate systemic effects.
