I think the correct answer would be C. The statement that correctly describes sniffing death syndrome would be the body becomes very sensitive to chemicals in the inhalant, and the heart stops beating. Chemicals that is inhaled would cause the heart beat in an abnormal way and resulting to a cardiac arrest.
