The correct answer is A, otc drugs are usually weaker than prescription drugs.

It's this way because since prescription drugs are stronger, it is possible to get addicted and have a quick overdose on them, while with otc drugs, though possible, highly unlikely.

Just imagine something such as xanax vs tylenol.
