  • A
    Ranitidine
  • B
    Aluminium hydroxide
  • C

Solution

Ranitidine, Cimetidine and metal hydroxides like aluminium hydroxide can be used as an antacid but not phenelzine. Phenelzine is not an antacid. It is an antidepressant. Antacids are a type of medication that can control the acid levels in the stomach.
