Correct answer: D — Remifentanil
The Minto model is a three-compartment PK model for remifentanil TCI. It uses age / sex / and lean body mass as covariates. Remifentanil's rapid ester metabolism gives it a uniquely constant context-sensitive half-time (~3-4 min) making TCI particularly predictable.
