Answer»

Correct option is (C) A decrease in body TEMPERATURE

Easiest explanation: Cocaine increases heartbeat, blood pressure and body temperature. In high dose, the rise in temperature or blood pressure may be lethal. The drug ALTERS membrane transport, prevents uptake of CATECHOLAMINES at adrenergic NERVE endings and interferes with the transport of dopamine.
