Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Cocaine works by blocking the reuptake of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, which leads to an accumulation of dopamine in the brain and a sense of euphoria or pleasure. This process also increases the likelihood of addiction and other negative effects on mental and physical health.
