Answer:

B. Heart failure and coughing up blood

Step-by-step explanation:

Cocaine is mostly used as a recreational drug which is a strong stimulant. There are various methods that are used to administer cocaine into the body they include snorting, inhaling as smoke, or dissolving and injecting into a vein.

Strong imbalances of transmitter levels in order to compensate extremes is caused by chronic cocaine intake. The mode in which the receptors work changes from off to working mode, or the binding partners mechanisms changes called downregulation and upregulation.
