Options
- A(A)-(III), (B)-(II), (C)-(I), (D)-(IV)
- B(A)-(I), (B)-(IV), (C)-(III), (D)-(II)
- C(A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
- D(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
Correct answer
D. (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
Step-by-step solution
Papaver somniferum yields opioids (such as heroin), which bind to specific opioid receptors in the central nervous system and gastrointestinal tract, acting as a depressant that slows down body functions. Erythroxylum coca yields cocaine, which interferes with the transport of the neurotransmitter dopamine. Cannabis sativa yields cannabinoids, which are known for their effects on the cardiovascular system of the body. Datura contains alkaloids that possess hallucinogenic properties. Therefore, the correct match is
