Answer 2

The right answers are : A, B, and E.

Narcotics are substances derived from opium and opioids.

Morphine and other opiates are used in medicine for their powerful analgesic action, but with the disadvantage that patients can become easily and quickly addicted.

Narcotics have an anti-tussive action by depression from the center of the cough.
