Correct answer: E — Aspirin plus clopidogrel for 21 days, then continue single antiplatelet therapy
Explanation lettering: E = shown as A · A = shown as C · C = shown as E
Short-course dual antiplatelet therapy (aspirin plus clopidogrel) for 21 days after minor stroke/TIA reduces early recurrence; continue single antiplatelet thereafter. Aspirin alone (A) or clopidogrel alone (B) is less effective acutely. Longer DAPT durations (D, E) increase bleeding without added benefit in typical minor stroke/TIA.
