Answer
Correct answer: a) 1 & 4 are correct
Amiodarone (Class III, K⁺ channel blockade) and Erythromycin (macrolide, hERG channel blockade) are both well-established causes of QT prolongation. Doxorubicin’s cardiotoxicity is via cardiomyopathy, not QT prolongation, and ibuprofen does not typically prolong the QT interval.
