Answer 1

an illegal drug

Answer 2

The correct answer is an illegal drug. People of any age may not lawfully manufacture, possess, buy, or sell illegal drugs.

Answer 3

The correct response is an illegal drug. In most countries, the manufacture, possession, buying, or selling of illegal drugs is strictly prohibited by law. To find this answer, we can eliminate options (1) and (2) because both prescription drugs and over-the-counter drugs can be lawfully manufactured, possessed, bought, and sold if they are obtained through legal means, such as with a prescription or from a licensed pharmacist. Option (4), "a medicine," is a broad term that can include both prescription and over-the-counter drugs, so it does not specifically address the question of whether people of any age may not lawfully manufacture, possess, buy, or sell a chemical substance. Therefore, the correct choice is option (3), "an illegal drug."
