Solution

A. Constricted pupils

Fentanyl is a potent opioid medication used for severe pain management. One of the key signs of fentanyl toxicity is constricted pupils, also known as miosis. This happens because opioids like fentanyl can stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which can cause the pupils to constrict. Other symptoms of fentanyl toxicity can include slowed breathing, decreased heart rate, and loss of consciousness. However, these symptoms were not listed in the options. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Constricted pupils.
