That is the MOA for benzo's...I think the Q asks the MOA of the Rx for a Benzo OD, which is flumazenil. That would have to be a noncompetitive antagonist, or (A)...

  #5

i think it shud be E coz flumazenil is selective , competitive antagonist of GABA recptor

If this q is about Flumazenil its a competitive antagonist at the GABAa receptor. Repeated doses may be necessary cause it only last 1 hour.
