Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Terrance has developed tolerance, which means his body has adapted to the presence of the drug and has become accustomed to its effects. Without the drug, the body will experience withdrawal symptoms, such as nausea, sweating, and anxiety. However, the shower can elicit conditioned responses, which means that the body has associated the shower with the drug use, and it will produce counteracting responses that can be experienced as withdrawal symptoms. These responses are known as conditioned compensatory responses. Therefore, the best choice is D – the shower will elicit conditioned compensatory responses, which will be experienced as withdrawal.
