CAT Question of the Day

Answer the question based on the passage given below.

Thalidomide was used in the late 1950s as a sedative by pregnant women to help overcome morning sickness - but it damaged babies in the womb, restricting the growth of arms and legs. About 10,000 Thalidomide babies were born worldwide until the drug was withdrawn in the early 1960s. But in Brazil the drug was re-licensed in 1965 as a treatment for skin lesions, one of the complications of leprosy. Researchers now say 100 Brazilian children have injuries exactly like those caused by Thalidomide. A tragedy is occurring in Brazil... it is a syndrome, which can be avoided only if Thalidomide is banned.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the call for a complete ban on Thalidomide?

OPTIONS

	1)	India, which has the largest number of leprosy patients, has not banned the drug Thalidomide.
	2)	There was a direct correlation between the distribution of Thalidomide tablets with the number of limb defects.
	3)	Thalidomide can only be prescribed to a woman who is taking two forms of birth control and agrees to regular pregnancy tests.
	4)	There are clear warnings on the packets of Thalidomide and there is a picture of a child damaged by Thalidomide.
