Answer:

Option A, a generic name

Explanation:

Acetaminophen is the generic name for the branded non-opioid analgesic (pain relief) medication known as Tylenol or Panadol.

It is also sometimes known by the international proprietary name paracetamol.

This generic name is derived from a shortened version of the chemical compound, which is N-acetyl aminophenol, from the acetylation of p-aminophenol.

This is also where one can see why the brand name is Tylenol: the last few letters of both N-acetyl aminophenol yield the brand.

Acetaminophen in drug nomenclature is an example of a generic name, option A.
