The routes that enable drug absorption more rapidly than the subcutaneous route are IV (intravenous), IM (intramuscular), and inhalation/sublingual routes. IV administration allows drugs to enter directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the absorption process altogether, which makes it the fastest route. With IM administration, drugs are injected directly into the muscle and can be absorbed rapidly because of the high blood supply in muscles. Inhalation or sublingual administration also result in rapid absorption as drugs go directly into the bloodstream through the lungs or the mucous membranes under the tongue. Therefore, options A, B, and C are the best choices.
