I would pick ©. A stool softener is routinely recommended for those who have to take an iron supplement. Iron can be very very constipating for some.

BeOne - Instead of just asking someone else for the answers to your homework, it might be useful for you to look up the side effects of Ferrous sulfate, then look at the classifications of the listed drugs. Then you would understand why the answer is what the others listed, not just try to memorize data. Takes a couple of minutes but will do you more good in the long run.
