High-Yield Explanation
Ans. is 'a' i.e., Diloxanide furoate Diloxanide furoate is a highly effective luminal amoebicide but has no systemic antiamoebic activity. This is because the furoate ester is hydrolysed in the intestine and the released diloxanide is absorbed. Diloxanide is a weaker amoebicide then its furoate ester and no systemic antiamoebic activity is seen despite its absorption.
