See solution below.

Step-by-step explanation

Tranquilizers are drugs that are used to reduce anxiety, tension, and other related disorders.

  1. Veronal: It's a barbiturate used as a sleeping aid, and it can be classified as a tranquilizer.

  2. Luminal: It's another name for Phenobarbital, which is a barbiturate and considered a tranquilizer.

  3. Propanal: This is not a tranquilizer; it's a simple aldehyde and has no medicinal use as a tranquilizer.

  4. Seconal: It's a brand name for Secobarbital, another barbiturate, and is used as a tranquilizer.

So, out of the listed drugs, 3 belong to the tranquilizer class.
