BChanges to a new drug
CSleeps for longer
DStops using the drug
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Stops using the drug
1. Dependence shows itself in two opposite directions.
2. Physical dependence involves changes in normal bodily functions.
3. The user will experience withdrawal from the drug upon cessation of use.
4. Tolerance, by contrast, shows up while use continues.
5. So withdrawal follows stopping, and tolerance follows continuing.
