Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A tranquilizer is a drug that combines the effects of a sedative (calming or soothing effect) and a hypnotic (sleep-inducing effect), which makes it the best choice for this question. Opiates are drugs that primarily act as pain relievers, stimulants increase alertness, and hallucinogens induce hallucinations and alter perception.
