A. Biopharmaceuticals are cheaper and easier to produce in mass quantities than pharmaceuticals derived from animals.

Hope this helps :)

D. (Or A).

Explanation:

D is the only that says something logical, because biopharmaceuticals can come from animals, so differentiating a biopharmaceutical from a pharmaceutical that comes from animals doesn't make sense.

Also, biopharmaceuticals do need to be tested in order to find out if they work so they don't become illegal because of a fraud-sale.

--> But still, I think you should review your material because the fact that biopharmaceuticals are cheaper to produce in mass quantities is true since you do not always need expensive synthesised chemical elements.

The definition of biopharmaceutical is "something deriving from a biological source and produced using biotechnology". --> You might want to use the definition to find out wether the answer is D or A.
