Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ranibizumab is a small recombinant, humanized, monoclonal antibody that neutralizes all forms of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) A, 1 whereas aflibercept is a larger recombinant fusion protein that neutralizes all VEGF-A isoforms as well as VEGF-B and placental growth factor.
