d to help them sleep
please select the best answer from the choices provided
a
b
c
d

Explanation:

Stimulants can increase metabolism and suppress appetite, which may lead overweight people to believe they can lose weight by abusing stimulants. Lowering blood pressure (B) is not a typical effect of stimulant abuse (stimulants often raise blood pressure). Stimulants are more likely to cause anxiety rather than reduce panic attacks (C). And stimulants keep people awake, not help them sleep (D).

Answer:

A. to lose weight
