Correct answer: Option 1, i.e., Only A.

The word ‘hamper’ means ‘to obstruct’ or ‘to restrict’.

Only (a) uses the word ‘hamper’ correctly. It can be re-written as follows:

(a) Although the pain medication has its benefits, it can also restrict the body’s capacity to break down toxins.

Both (b) and (c) use the word incorrectly and do not make any sense and are also grammatically incorrect.
