Answer:

b.Steady state

Explanation:

When a drug is in a steady state is usually defined as the time during which the drug remains stable when administered repeatedly or continuously (IV infusion) - this is the state where the rate of the drug entering the systemic circulation or drug administration equals to its rate of elimination out of the system. In the case where a drug is administered multiple times in fixed intervals the plasma concentration increases till it plateaus. This administration pattern will  result in a steady-state concentration which is intended to be within the therapeutic window
