Solution
Is not localised to affected site
The ideal medicine is one that is specific to the affected area. Effectiveness, safety, and selectivity are the most crucial characteristics of an ideal medicine. It must be non-toxic, biocompatible, and biodegradable, with no negative side effects. The medicine should not build up in any of the body's tissues or cells, producing inflammation.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
