How is a 'Biological Product (Biologic)' best described?

  1. Any approved medical device

  2. A chemical compound used in treatments

  3. Any virus, therapeutic serum, toxin, antitoxin, and products for disease prevention or cure

  4. A type of pharmaceutical drug

The correct answer is: Any virus, therapeutic serum, toxin, antitoxin, and products for disease prevention or cure

A is incorrect because medical devices are not the same as biological products. B is incorrect because a biologic is not necessarily a chemical compound, but can also be a virus, serum, or toxin. D is incorrect because while biologics can be considered a type of pharmaceutical drug, all pharmaceutical drugs are not biologics. In summary, a biologic is best described as a type of biological product made from living organisms or their components, used for therapeutic or preventive purposes.
