- C Nicotine
- D Heroin
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(B) Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD),
Lysergic Acid Deithylamide (LSD) is one of the most potent, mood -changing chemicals. It is manufactured from lysergic acid, which is found in the ergot fungus that grows on rye and other grains. It stimulates serotonin production in the cortex and deep structures of the brain, by activating serotonin receptors. It can be given to patiesnts suffereing with depression and insomnia.
