Which of the following antagonizes the effects of benzodiazepines?

D
Flumazenil antagonizes the sedative, amnesic, anxiolytic, and muscle-relaxant effects of benzodiazepines. It does not reverse benzodiazepine-induced respiratory or cardiac depression. It is specific for the benzodiazepine receptors and therefore does not reverse the effects of barbiturates or opiates.
