This question is testing your knowledge of neuraminidase inhibitors (e.g. Oseltamivir, Zanamivir) which are commonly used to treat influenza or aka "the flu". Neuraminidase inhibitors decrease the release of progeny virus.

One important thing to know is that this therapy needs to be done within 48 hours of symptom onset. If this is done it isn't guaranteed but it (may) shorten the duration of the illness with influenza.
