Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Clonazepam and lorazepam are two examples of neurologic drugs that have an effect on GABA. Both of these drugs belong to a class of drugs called benzodiazepines, which act on GABA receptors in the brain to enhance the effects of GABA, a neurotransmitter that inhibits neural activity. By enhancing the effects of GABA, benzodiazepines can help to reduce anxiety, induce sedation, and prevent seizures. Zolpidem and amitriptyline (Option B) are not benzodiazepines, but they can also have an effect on GABA. Temazepam and pregabalin (Option C) are also drugs that can have an effect on GABA, with temazepam being a benzodiazepine and pregabalin being a GABA analog.
