Answer:

D. Antispasmodics

Explanation:

An overactive bladder refers to a condition in which a person is not able to control the release of urine. Although an overactive bladder does not affect the person's lifespan, it does affect the well-being.

This condition is usually treated with antispasmodics, which in this case are often referred as urinary antispasmodics. These medications work by blocking the effects of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine which result in the inhibition of involuntary contractions of the muscles located in the bladder and urinary tract. One example is the drug Oxybutynin, which significantly reduces the level of muscle spams and, therefore, the involuntary release of urine.
