Liposomal Amphotericin B (Ambisome) is preferable due to:

  1. Higher efficacy

  2. Fewer toxicities

  3. Oral formulation

  4. Cheaper cost

The correct answer is: Fewer toxicities

Liposomal Amphotericin B (Ambisome) is preferable due to fewer toxicities. High efficacy was not mentioned as a reason because the efficacy of the medication is not necessarily higher than other options, it is just less toxic. The medication also does not come in an oral formulation, so option C is not correct. And while cost may be a factor for some patients, it is not the main reason why Liposomal Amphotericin B is preferred. Therefore, option B is the most accurate answer.
