Question

Nerve gases used as warfare agents include:

• A. \( \text{SARIN} \)
• B. \( \text{TABUN} \)
• C. \( \text{SOMAN} \)
• D. \( \text{All of the above} \)

Hint:

Nerve agents act rapidly and require immediate administration of antidotes like atropine and pralidoxime for treatment.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Sarin, Tabun, and Soman are all nerve agents that inhibit acetylcholinesterase, leading to overstimulation of the nervous system. These agents cause respiratory failure and muscular paralysis, making them highly toxic chemical weapons. Nerve gases have been banned under international treaties due to their devastating effects.
