Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Near-death experiences are often accompanied by visions of bright lights, according to research on the subject. While endorphins may play a role in the experience, they are not the sole trigger, and not everyone who has a near-death experience will recall it or report seeing bright lights. The experience is also not a clear indication of a substance use disorder.
