Agonists bind to receptors and antagonists bind to receptors.


Agonists: chemicals that mimic a neurotransmitter at the receptor site and, thus, strengthen its effects.


Antagonist: blocks or impedes the normal activity of a neurotransmitter at the receptor

Answer:

Option B, receptors receptors

Step-by-step explanation:

Both the Agonists and antagonists binds to the receptors.

An agonist is a form of chemical that binds to a receptor site in order to activate the receptor and produce some biological responses or action.

An antagonists is also known as a blocker and is intended to block the action potential of agonist. An antagonists is also a form of receptor ligand or drug which reduces or slow downs the effect of an agonist.

Hence, option B is correct
