Correct Answer: Antagonists


Solution : The correct answer is Antagonists .

Antagonists are the substances that attach to receptor sites and prevent them from performing their intended action. When a message needs to be blocked, these medications come in handy. Receptors are bound by antagonists, but they are not activated. They contend for receptor binding sites with existing agonists.
