    The correct option is : a. itraconazole

    Explanation:

    Sporotrichosis is a fungal infection which is caused by the fungus sporothrix schenckii. This infection is also known as the rose-thorn disease. This is because the disease causing fungus Sporothrix schenckii is naturally present in the hay, soil, plants, etc; and therefore, can easily spread through roses.

    This disease can be treated by the antifungal drugs, Amphotericin B and Itraconazole.

    The first-line recommended treatment involves using the drug Itraconazole, as it is a safer alternative as compared to Amphotericin B.
