Final Answer : C, Explanation :  An agonist is a substance that activates a receptor to produce a biological response, whereas an antagonist blocks the receptor and prevents that response. Thus, mimic is to block best parallels this relationship, as mimicking would involve simulating a response (like an agonist), and blocking would prevent it (like an antagonist).

A) neuromodulator is to neurotransmitter.
