Option A

toxicologists should store the specimen in amber colored vials as a precautionary measure

Step-by-step explanation:

Toxicologists require quantitative knowledge in succession to manage if the amount is consonant with a therapeutic dose or a wrong dosage. In charge of identifying and recognizing the appearance of drugs and toxins in body fluids, membranes, and organs.

Units known to hold photolabile drugs should be put in amber vials or foil-covered containers, or contrarily guarded against direct sources of light. Accommodation of tightly sealed suitable containers at low warmth further frustrates sample loss. Short-term accommodation at refrigerated (4 ° C) and frozen (-20 ° C) temperatures are usually in most labs.
