Correct answer: E1:1

Sugammadex encapsulates rocuronium (or vecuronium) in a tight 1:1 molar ratio forming an inactive water-soluble complex. This complex is renally excreted. Because it is a 1:1 binding if insufficient sugammadex is given relative to the amount of NMB present recurarisation can occur.
