The correct answer is A. You should stop taking the medicine when you feel better. All the other answers are just not logical for this question. Even if the medicine you are taking is making you feel better, keep taking it. The illness the medicine is treating will often still be present in the body until a few more days/weeks etc, until it has had enough time to stop the illness/virus completely.
