D) in ice
C) in the refrigerator
Suppositories are usually kept in a refrigerator because of their ability to melt at body temperature. As such, keeping them warm would not contain their solidity. Storing them in ice would make them too cold for proper use. Room temperature is not cold enough for the secure storage of suppositories.
