Answer to Question 1

C
The steady state is the state in which the amount of drug absorbed is constantly balanced by the competing processes of distribution, elimination, and metabolism. It is also called the pharmokinetic state. The relationship between the absorption of a drug and the steady state may not be linearly related to the drug dosage given.
