Correct answer: C. Halothane
- A. Isoflurane
- B. Ether
- C. Halothane
- D. Proplofol

Halothane sensitises the myocardium to circulating catecholamines, increasing the risk of ventricular arrhythmias. Modern volatile agents such as isoflurane have much less of this effect, while propofol does not produce this classic sensitisation.
