The answer is (C): GABA.

Explanation for each option:

(A) Dopamine: Methamphetamine use significantly increases the release of dopamine in the brain, which can lead to the depletion of this neurotransmitter over time. This is correct.

(B) Norepinephrine: Methamphetamine also increases the release of norepinephrine, which can similarly become depleted with repeated use. This is correct.

(C) GABA: Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) is primarily an inhibitory neurotransmitter, and while stimulants like methamphetamine affect the balance of excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters, GABA is not typically depleted by methamphetamine use. This is incorrect.

(D) Serotonin: Methamphetamine can also affect serotonin levels, leading to their depletion with repeated use. This is correct.

Summary: Repeated uses of stimulants such as Meth can deplete important neurotransmitters like dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin, but not GABA. Therefore, the correct answer is (C): GABA.

A diagram of Earth's tilt in relation to the sun during winter in the Northern hemisphere is shown. Based on the diagram, choose the best explanation as to why most crops are grown in the Southern Hemisphere during this time. The Southern Hemisphere is further from the sun, therefore it is spring. The Southern Hemisphere is pointed toward the sun, therefore it is summer there. The Southern Hemisphere is perpendicular to the sun, therefore it is spring there. The Southern Hemisphere is closer to the sun, therefore it is summer there.

Given the three experiments within the research model, a key assumption regarding the independent variable (i.e., submerged crude oil) is not explicitly addressed by the researchers. Which key assumption about the crude oil would most likely limit the generalizability of the study's findings? variance among different types of oil standardization of the oil distribution process mean temperature of the solute (ocean water) negative correlation coefficient between the independent and dependent variables
