Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Chikusetsu saponin is a compound found primarily in Ginseng. It is one of the active components responsible for the medicinal effects of Ginseng, such as its adaptogenic and anti-fatigue properties.
Chikusetsu saponin is a bioactive compound found in ginseng. While senega contains senegasaponins, quillia contains quillaic acid saponins, and liquorice contains glycyrrhizin, none of these specifically contain chikusetsu saponin.
