Nitric oxide or Nitrous oxide, also known as 'laughing gas', can cause:

  1. Hypotension, sweating, dizziness

  2. Hypertension, dry mouth, euphoria

  3. Bradycardia, hyperthermia, seizures

  4. Tachycardia, hypothermia, hallucinations

The correct answer is: Hypotension, sweating, dizziness

Nitric oxide or Nitrous oxide, also known as 'laughing gas', can cause hypotension, sweating, and dizziness. The other options are incorrect because they list symptoms that are not typically associated with the use of nitric oxide or nitrous oxide. Hypertension, dry mouth, and euphoria are more commonly associated with stimulant drugs, not nitric oxide or nitrous oxide. Bradycardia, hyperthermia, and seizures are more commonly associated with depressant drugs, not nitric oxide or nitrous oxide. Tachycardia, hypothermia, and hallucinations are also not typically associated with the use of nitric oxide or nitrous oxide.
