- i- Quinine. [antimalarial]
- j- H & I.***
The correct answer is j- H & I.
All the antibiotics listed in options a-g belong to the quinolone or fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics. Nalidixic acid, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, sparfloxacin, and levofloxacin are all quinolones, while eoxacin is a fluoroquinolone.
Option h, aminosidine, is an aminoglycoside antibiotic, which is a different class of antibiotics. It is not a quinolone or fluoroquinolone.
Option i, quinine, is an antimalarial drug, not an antibiotic. It is also not a quinolone or fluoroquinolone.
Therefore, the only options that are not from the quinolone group are h and i.
