What does 'meds' refer to?

  1. Meditations

  2. Mediums

  3. Medications

  4. Mediterranean sea

This is different from 'meditations', which are practices or techniques for relaxation and self-reflection, and 'mediums', which can refer to a person who communicates with spirits or a means of communication. While 'Mediterranean sea' also starts with 'med' and may sound similar, it is a body of water and not a term commonly used in the medical field. Therefore, the correct option is C.
