The correct answer is c. disulfiram.
Here's why:
1. Disulfiram is a medication used to discourage alcohol consumption by causing unpleasant effects when alcohol is consumed. These effects include flushing (reddening of the face), blurred vision, chest pain, and vomiting.
2. When a person takes disulfiram and then consumes alcohol, it interferes with the body's ability to break down alcohol, leading to the accumulation of acetaldehyde in the blood. This accumulation of acetaldehyde causes the unpleasant symptoms mentioned above, which serve as a deterrent to drinking alcohol.
3. Acamprosate and naltrexone are other medications used to help individuals with alcohol dependence, but they do not cause the same aversive effects as disulfiram.
