Answer»

Correct answer is (a) Microencapsulation using slowly dissolving materials

Best explanation: When drugs are encapsulated with slowly dissolving materials such as that of CELLULOSE, PEG, waxes, ETC. The pellets may be filled up in hard gelatin capsules and then compresses to FORM into tablets. The dissolution rate of the coat depends upon the SOLUBILITY and THICKNESS of the coat.
