The correct answer is; Kleenex tissues, a bottle of Extra Strength Tylenol (C)

Explanation:

There are certain rules applied when suing capital letters, and in our example the rule being tested here is the rule that, when writing titles of movies, publications, books or other products, the first letters of all large words must be capitalized, while small words such as is, an, a to on etc, are not capitalized, unless they are the first or the last words in the title.

in our example, Kleenex is a title or the name of a specific brand of tissue, hence it is capitalized, while tissue is not a proper noun so it is not capitalized, "Extra Strength Tylenol" are also capitalized because it is a brand name or title for a specific type of Tylenol (Acetaminophen, which is also a proper noun). Another example is in the sentence: "I am going to the cinema to watch Dragon and Kings". Notice that "Dragon" is capitalized at its first letter, the "a" in "and" is not capitalized even though it is part of the title, while the "k" in "Kings" is also capitalized.

There are other rules of capitalization in English language, I will list them out and you can do further study on them:

1. the first letter is a quotation is always capitalized as long as the quotation is a complete sentence

2. proper nouns are capitalized

3. directions are capitalized only when they refer to specific locations e.g North Carolina

5. two or more sentences following a colon are capitalized

6. the first letter or a salutation is capitalized. Example Dear Tommy.
