Sedatives differ from tranquilizers in(A) Sedatives induce sleep while tranquilizers do not do so(B) Sedatives depress brain activity while tranquilizers activate brain functioning(C) Sedatives are strong tranquilizers(D) Sedatives cause addiction while tranquilizers do not produce such as effect

The correct answer is:

(A) Sedatives induce sleep while tranquilizers do not do so.

Here's a brief explanation:

Sedatives: These are drugs that depress the central nervous system (CNS) to reduce excitement or agitation. They are often used to induce sleep or relaxation and have a calming effect.

Tranquilizers: These are drugs used to reduce tension or anxiety without inducing sleep. They are divided into two categories:

Major tranquilizers (antipsychotics): Used to manage psychosis and severe mental health conditions.
Minor tranquilizers (anxiolytics): Used to alleviate anxiety and tension.
While both sedatives and tranquilizers can have calming effects, sedatives are specifically used to induce sleep, whereas tranquilizers are primarily used to reduce anxiety without necessarily causing sleep.
