Answer:

Option A, ginkgo

Step-by-step explanation:

Ginkgo is an oral herbal supplement derived from a tree that is available in extracts, teas, capsules, and tablets, and is said to have effects in treating dementia, memory, and relief of pain resulting from decreased blood flow. Current research, however, does not support its efficacy in treating these symptoms or this diagnosis. Further, raw and roasted ginkgo can be poisonous to consume. Patients requesting this treatment should consult a physician before beginning this alternative medicine treatment.

Aspirin, acetaminophen (brand name Tylenol), and ibuprofen (brand name Advil) are all nonopioid analgesic medications, not herbal supplements, though they do have origins in plant products.
