-ine

Explanation:

1. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, and heartburn is its most prevalent characteristic symptom. The other options are unrelated to GERD.
2. H2 blockers, a class of medications that reduce stomach acid production, typically have the suffix "-idine" (e.g., ranitidine, famotidine). "-prazole" is the suffix for proton pump inhibitors, while the other suffixes are not standard for H2 blockers.

Answer:

1. B. Heartburn
2. B. -idine
