Answer: Local

Step-by-step explanation:

The topical administration of drug or medication comes under the local route of administration. The drug does not enter intravenously. It is administered through skin or via mucus membrane. It is administered using lotions, gels, foams, and through ointments. These can be applied directly to the skin. Topical medication can also be inhaled through nasal drops, eye drops and medication used for curing tooth related problems are also topical.
