Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Morphine is a drug obtained from the opium poppy, and its primary use is as an analgesic (pain reliever). It is widely used for severe pain management, particularly in hospital settings. Heroin and codeine are also derived from opium but are used for different purposes. Heroin is an illicit drug and codeine is often used in lower doses for its sedative effects.
