The Correct Option is C

Approach Solution - 1

Two conditions must both be met: a qualified person in charge, and no compounding of drugs.
A "drug store" or "drug vendor" are informal terms without a specific qualified-person requirement, and a manufacturing unit actually involves compounding/production, so it fails the "no compounding" condition.
"Chemist and druggists" is the specific licensed category where a qualified pharmacist sells drugs in their original form without compounding, meeting both conditions.
So the answer is Chemist and druggists.

Approach Solution -2

Rather than matching a keyword, check each option against the exact legal picture painted in the question: qualified person present, drugs sold but not compounded.

  1. Drug store: A general, non-specific label; it does not carry the formal requirement of a qualified pharmacist being in charge.
  2. Drug vendor: Implies casual or informal selling of drugs, again without the specific qualified-person and no-compounding licensing conditions attached.
  3. Chemist and druggists: The recognised licensing category for premises run by a qualified pharmacist that sell drugs as-is, without any compounding — a precise match for the question's description.
  4. Manufacturing unit: Involves producing and typically compounding drugs, the opposite of what the question is describing.

Since the question's two conditions (qualified person, no compounding) uniquely describe the licensed "Chemist and druggists" category, the remaining options are ruled out for either lacking the qualification requirement or actively involving compounding.

Therefore, the correct answer is Chemist and druggists.
