Which is NOT a common diluent or filler found in tablets/capsules?
Lactose
Starches
Magnesium stearate
Calcium salts
The correct answer is: Magnesium stearate
Common diluents and fillers found in tablets/capsules include lactose, starches, and calcium salts.

Therefore, the correct answer is C, Magnesium stearate, as it is not a common diluent or filler but a lubricant.
