Ans: C
Feedback:
Inducing seizures as a means of therapy for mental illnesses dates back to the early 1700s, when camphor was used for this purpose. Modern electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), in which electricity is used to induce a convulsion, was introduced to psychiatric practice in the 1930s in Italy.
