Answer:
The correct answer would be levodopa/carbidopa.
Tolcapone is a drug used as an adjunct to levodopa/carbidopa combination medication.
These drugs are used to treat the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
Tolcapone is used to inhibit enzyme COMT (catechol-O-methyl transferase).
In the brain, levodopa is converted into dopamine which helps in controlling the movement.
Carbidopa helps in preventing the breakdown of levodopa in the blood which allows more levodopa to enter the brain. In addition, it helps in reducing the side-effects associated with levodopa such as vomiting, nausea et cetera.

Answer:
derived trait
Explanation:
An ancestral (or primitive) trait/character is a feature inherited from the common ancestor of the species/group of interest, while derived traits are those that were absent in the last common ancestor of the group of interest. For example, considering mammals as the target group, the presence of hair is a shared derived trait relative to other vertebrates, i.e., amphibians, reptiles and birds. However, this trait (hair) is ancestral for humans since the genetically closest species to humans (e.g., chimpanzees), also have hair, and they have inherited this trait from a common ancestor.
