<h2>Carl's biggest health risk from his current pattern of drug use is:</h2><h2>(a) respiratory depression.</h2>

Explanation:

Respiratory depression means that a person’s rate and depth of breathing are lower than normal. This results in low oxygen levels and high carbon dioxide levels in the blood.

Substance-induced respiratory depression occurs when an individual experiences a significant decline in their inhalations and exhalations as a result of using some drug or medication.

It is the common side effect of drugs that suppress functions of the central nervous system. Substance-induced respiratory depression can occur in conjunction with the use of numerous drugs.

Softa [21]

American business pioneer Eliza Pinckney (1722–1793) single-handedly launched the indigo industry in pre-Revolutionary era South Carolina. Determined to make the highly prized tropical crop flourish in the Carolina soil, Pinckney carried out several experimental plantings in the early 1740s. These plantings finally yielded enough new seeds to make the plant, used in the textile industry for its distinctive a deep-blue dye, a viable crop in the region. Within a decade, South Carolina planters were exporting thousands of pounds of it annually, and the crop became a staple of the Southern economy.
