Answer:

The answers are c)are the most reinforcing, generate the greatest immediate sensual appeal, and produce the most powerful psychological dependence.

Explanation:

Like all psychoactive substances, amphetamines affect the central nervous system and have stimulating effects (empathy, sensuality, confusion, etc.), producing an alert state along with various reactions in perception. Some individuals also report optical and auditory illusions. On many occasions this is also favored by the existence of intense visual and auditory stimuli, as happens for example at parties. However, most of these desired effects have tolerance with repeated doses of the same substances and even cross tolerance with doses of other substances. With the appearance of this tolerance other effects appear such as aggressiveness, anxiety symptoms, panic attacks, etc.

Among the medical complications related to the use of these substances, acute neurological complications, seizures and cerebrovascular diseases stand out.
