Answer:

The correct answer is option d. "Gastric ulcers".

Step-by-step explanation:

Chlorpromazine (Thorazine) is an antipsychotic medication, the widest medicine used to treat schizophrenia, and other psychotic disorders such as bipolar disorder. One of the most common side effects of the use of Chlorpromazine is the formation of gastric ulcers. This happens because Chlorpromazine inhibits histamine and insulin, two compounds that stimulate gastric secretion.
