The correct option is B.

After sorting the drugs into two groups, it is very important to check with the client, who is the one using the drugs, in order to ensure that the drugs have been properly sorted and no mistake was made. After ensuring that the drug has been accurately sorted then the ones that the client is no longer using can be put away in an appropriate safe location in order to avoid mix up.
