Answer

Correct answer: d) 2 & 4

Atropine toxicity produces dry mouth (antimuscarinic secretory blockade) and psychotic behavior/delirium (central anticholinergic toxicity — “mad as a hatter”). It causes tachycardia, not bradycardia, and mydriasis, not miosis — both options 1 and 3 describe the opposite of atropine’s actual effect.
