Solution

An antagonist is a substance that:

c. Binds to the receptors without directly altering their functions

An antagonist is a type of drug or substance that binds to specific receptors in the brain but does not activate them. This prevents other substances, like drugs or neurotransmitters, from binding to the receptors and activating them, thus blocking or dampening a biological response.
