The correct answer is: b) Very rapidly developing tolerance
Tachyphylaxis is a phenomenon where the body rapidly becomes less responsive to a drug’s effects, often occurring within a few doses or hours. This is a type of tolerance that develops quickly, unlike tolerance that develops over days or weeks.
