Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Treatment of narcotic dependence.

This choice directly addresses the purpose and indication of a narcotic antagonist.
A: Reversal of bronchoconstriction - This is not a typical indication for a narcotic antagonist.
B: Reversal of tachycardia - While tachycardia can be a symptom of narcotic overdose, it is not the primary reason for prescribing a narcotic antagonist.
C: Treatment of alcohol independence - Narcotic antagonists are not used to treat alcohol dependence but rather focus on opioid/narcotic addiction.
