Correct answer is (b) The system is programmed to release drugs at a controlled rate

The best explanation: Battery powered pumps are such that they are programmed to release drugs of a certain amount when the range of those components is differing from the normal value. Their design is such that the drug moves towards the exit and there is no backflow of the liquid. They are of two types these are peristaltic pump and solenoid driven reciprocating pump.
