you are correct

no, not c. Depressants are anti-seizure drugs.

b. is ridiculous
d is ludicrous, downers make folks very down.
a. True, and very especially true if combined with alcohol.

Actually, the correct answer is a. At high doses, the user may be at risk for a coma. Depressants are substances that slow down the activity of the central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord. They have a calming and sedating effect on the body, which can lead to drowsiness, relaxation, and even unconsciousness.

To arrive at this answer, you can examine the characteristics and effects of depressants. By understanding what depressants do to the body, you can deduce the potential dangers of these substances. In this case, the key is identifying the fact that depressants can cause extreme sedation, which at high doses can result in a coma.

It's important to note that while chronic bronchitis, seizures, and undetectable effects might be potential risks associated with other substances, they are not specifically related to depressants.
