What is the timeline of drug development?

  1. NDA submission, Marketing, Clinical Development

  2. Clinical Development, Preclinical trials, Marketing

  3. Preclinical trials, IND Submission, Clinical Development, NDA submission, Marketing

  4. IND Submission, Preclinical trials, Marketing

The correct answer is: Preclinical trials, IND Submission, Clinical Development, NDA submission, Marketing

Drug development typically involves several stages including discovery and preclinical trials, IND submission, clinical development, NDA submission, and finally marketing. Option A is incorrect because NDA submission and marketing are actually the final stages of drug development, not the beginning. Option B is missing the crucial step of IND submission, which is required before clinical trials can begin. Option D is incorrect because IND submission usually comes before preclinical trials, not after. Option C accurately reflects the correct timeline of drug development.
