(b) add 10 ml to obtain 100mg per ml

Step-by-step explanation

i would select (b) add 10 ml to obtain 100mg per ml, as this will mean, i will give the patient 1.5mls (150/100)

This will make administration easy and fast.

This will be a small quantity thus reducing chances of formation of lumps, other inflammatory signs and also lower chances of abscess formation.
