Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Drug D, which increases the release of inhibitory transmitters, is the best choice. This is because inhibitory transmitters can slow down neural activity, resulting in a calming effect. This would achieve the desired effect of making world leaders "slow down" and become more mellow. Drugs A and B would have the opposite effect of increasing neural activity and potentially causing anxiety or agitation. Drug C, which completely inhibits the release of transmitters, would have unpredictable and potentially dangerous effects.
