Answer:

0.25 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Dosage of medicine = 20 mg

The medicine has a concentration of 80 mg/ml

We need to find how much medication will the patient receive. It can be calculated as follows :

$\text{Dosage}=(20\ mg)/(80\ mg/ml)\\\\=(20)/(80)\ \text{ml}\\\\=0.25\ \text{ml}$

So, the patient will receive 0.25 ml. Hence, the correct option is (a).
