Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Antipsychotic drugs are more effective in treating positive symptoms of schizophrenia such as delusions and hallucinations, but offer little relief from negative symptoms such as emotional flatness. Agitation can be treated with antipsychotic drugs, but it is not the symptom that they are least effective at treating.
