Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carbidopa is a drug that inhibits peripheral metabolism of levodopa. For Parkinson disease treatment carbidopa is added to levodopa. This allows a greater proportion of levodopa to cross the blood brain barrier and have a therapeutic effect in central nervous system.
