A. Chlorodiazepoxide
B. Veronal
C. Valium
D. Salvarsan
Correct Answer: 2
We need to identify the tranquilizers from the given options.
A. Chlorodiazepoxide: This is a benzodiazepine derivative used as a tranquilizer. It was the first benzodiazepine to be discovered (marketed as Librium).
B. Veronal: Veronal (barbital/barbitone) is a barbiturate used as a hypnotic/sedative, not classified as a tranquilizer. It is a sleep-inducing drug (hypnotic).
C. Valium: Valium (diazepam) is a benzodiazepine and is a well-known tranquilizer.
D. Salvarsan: Salvarsan is an organoarsenic compound used as an antimicrobial/antisyphilitic drug. It is not a tranquilizer.
Chlorodiazepoxide and Valium are tranquilizers. That gives us 2 tranquilizers.
The correct answer is 2.
