I think morphine is not safer than pethidine and we can repeat analgesia again and again and some pts require higher dosage, so probably b is not correct. Both pethidine choices are not looking convincing.
I think C can be a good choice. In elderly a lot of dg doses have to be readjusted (I remember that from goljan lectures).
