Ans: D
Feedback:
Naloxone is an opioid antagonist that blocks the opioid receptors and temporarily reverses respiratory depression associated with opioid overdose. Naltrexone and acamprosate have pharmacologic properties that diminish craving for alcohol, whereas disulfiram induces aversive effects if alcohol is consumed.
