Which description matches an inhalant?

• A. A disease
• B. A device for defibrillation
• C. A breathable chemical vapor that produces mind-altering effects
• D. A stimulant

Answer: (C)

Inhalants are substances whose vapors are breathed in to produce a high. The essential idea is that a breathable chemical vapor affects the brain quickly when inhaled, leading to mind-altering effects. This description fits because it directly captures that the substance is inhaled and is a chemical that changes mental state. It isn’t describing a disease, a medical device, or a stimulant category, so those options don’t apply. Remember that misuse of inhalants can be dangerous, potentially causing dizziness, loss of coordination, organ damage, or even sudden death with heavy or repeated use.
