The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Antihistamines**: Antihistamines are medications designed to counteract the effects of histamines in the body. Histamines are chemicals released during allergic reactions. 2. **Identifying the Context**: The question asks what antihistamine pills are meant to nullify. We need to determine which of the provided options is related to histamine release. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1: Malaria** - Antihistamines are not used for malaria, which is a parasitic infection. - **Option 2: Typhoid** - Similarly, antihistamines are not relevant for typhoid fever, a bacterial infection. - **Option 3: Allergic Reaction** - This is a condition where histamines are released in response to allergens, making this a potential correct answer. - **Option 4: Autoimmune Diseases** - Antihistamines do not target autoimmune diseases, which involve the immune system attacking the body’s own cells. 4. **Confirming the Correct Answer**: Since antihistamines are specifically used to alleviate symptoms caused by allergic reactions (due to histamine release), we can conclude that the correct answer is **Option 3: Allergic Reaction**. 5. **Mechanism of Action**: Antihistamines work by blocking histamine receptors, thereby preventing histamines from triggering allergic symptoms. This helps to nullify the effects of the allergic reaction. 6. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, antihistamine pills are specifically designed to nullify allergic reactions. **Final Answer**: Antihistamine pills are to nullify **allergic reactions** (Option 3). ---
