A pharmaceutical company develops an HPLC method to assay an immediate-release tablet during stability studies. The method is tested under forced degradation conditions (acidic, basic, oxidative, thermal, and photolytic stress). The following observations are made:        Stress condition Observations    Acidic API peak reduced, two degradation peaks appear, all peaks baseline-separated   Basic API peak reduced, one degradation peak overlaps with API peak   Oxidative API peak reduced, one degradation peak baseline-separated   Thermal No significant change   Photolytic API peak reduced, one degradation peak baseline-separated  Based on these results, which statement is most accurate?
