  3. Ointment
  4. Ocular inserts
Explanation

Answer: D - Ocular inserts provide the advantage of prolonged drug delivery and reduced dose frequency.

They enjoy advantages such as increased ocular contact time and improved bioavailability, but they can be challenging to insert and remove and are sometimes felt by the patient.
