The correct answer is E. Terfenadine is the only drug listed that does not cross the blood-brain barrier and therefore does not cause sedation (a bad thing for someone flying an airplane). Other drugs from the same class (piperidines) include astemizole and loratadine. All of the other choices have some degree of sedation as a side effect and therefore would not be recommended for someone who is flying an airplane or operating any kind of machinery.
