- BA-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
- CA-III, B-II, C-I, D-IV
- DA-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV
Correct answer
D. A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV
Step-by-step solution
Heroin (commonly called smack) is chemically diacetylmorphine, which is a white, odourless, bitter crystalline compound. Morphine is extracted from the latex of the poppy plant (Papaver somniferum). Cocaine (coca alkaloid) is obtained from the coca plant Erythroxylum coca and it interferes with the transport of the neurotransmitter dopamine. Marijuana is a type of cannabinoid obtained from the inflorescences of the plant Cannabis sativa. Therefore, the correct matching is A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV. Answer: A-II, B-III
