D Correct answer
Explanation

Mivacurium is a benzylisoquinolinium neuromuscular blocking agent. Larger doses do speed the onset of action by increasing the concentration gradient. Mivacurium commonly causes histamine release leading to flushing and can cause bronchospasm. However, mivacurium typically causes hypotension (not hypertension) due to histamine release and ganglionic blockade. This makes hypertension the false statement and the correct 'except' answer.
