Correct Answer: 3

Rationale 1: Fibric acid is incorrect because statin is another name for HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor.
Rationale 2: Omega-3 fatty acid is incorrect because statin is another name for HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor.
Rationale 3: Statin is another name for HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor.
Rationale 4: Bile acid resin is incorrect because statin is another name for HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor.

Global Rationale: Statin is another name for HMG-CoA reducatase inhibitor. Fibric acid, omega-3 fatty acid, and bile acid resin are not other names for HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors.
