Answer:

In the given case, it is important that the medications should not be stopped suddenly, however, it should be reduced gradually. For a patient suffering from seizures, a protocol has to be followed that is used to wean a child of anticonvulsants slowly as sudden withdrawing of the drug could lead to a seizure.  

The discontinuation of the drug takes place slowly as the child becomes seizure-free for two years, and possess an EEG within the anticipated limits. Anticonvulsants cannot be ceased suddenly at the two-year follow-up visit, however, the discontinuation process can get initiated.

According to the hypothesis presented in the passage, which drug is most likely to cause a decline in the wheel-running behavior
TiliK225 [7]

Morphine

As an animal model of exercise addiction, ABA is frequently explored. Endorphins are released when you exercise. Exercise addiction is thought to be influenced by the rise in endorphins.

According to the theory, the fact that exercise raises endorphin levels causes exercise addiction. A medication that stimulates this neurotransmitter would make ABA-induced rats less prone to run in their wheels (because their endorphin levels would be elevated by an alternative method).

The only medication that is an endorphin agonist is D, or morphine, thus it is clear that this is the right response.
