Nifedipine, hands down. Unless Adalat is secretly a new superhero movie, then I might have to rethink my answer.

Simvastatin? Really? That's for cholesterol, not Adalat. I'm sticking with A, nifedipine. What is this, a trick question?

Wait, is Adalat some kind of superhero medicine? Digoxin, for sure. Gotta keep that heart pumping strong!

I believe it's Nifedipine because it's a calcium channel blocker commonly used in Adalat.

Hmm, I'm going to go with option B. Adalimumab, because it sounds fancy and medical-y.

Nifedipine, of course! Adalat is a calcium channel blocker, and nifedipine is its active ingredient. Easy peasy.
