this is the classic clinical use of atropine and one you should have committed to memory. Atropine does not induce muscular relaxation- that would be a neuromuscular junction blocker such as curare, thus (b) and (d) are wrong. #! might confuse you. Atropine is used to override vagal activity, but that is not the reason it is given before halothane.
