Correct answer: C — The sale should be refused or restricted in line with misuse-prevention guidance

Pseudoephedrine sales require professional judgement because of misuse potential and pack restrictions. In this vignette, "The sale should be refused or restricted in line with misuse-prevention guidance" is the safest single best answer. The other options are less appropriate because they miss the key clinical risk, conflict with UK medicines guidance, or delay needed review.
