The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Opiate Narcotics**: Opiate narcotics are drugs that primarily reduce brain activity and are used for pain relief. They are derived from opium, which is obtained from the poppy plant. 2. **Source of Opiates**: The opiate drugs come from the dried latex of the unripe fruit of the plant *Papaver somniferum*, commonly known as the poppy plant. 3. **Common Opiate Drugs**: Some well-known opiate drugs include: - **Opium**: The raw substance obtained from the poppy plant. - **Heroin**: Also known as diacetylmorphine, it is synthesized from morphine through a process called acetylation. - **Morphine**: A potent opiate used for severe pain relief. 4. **Identifying Non-Opiate Drugs**: In the context of the question, we need to distinguish between opiate narcotics and other substances: - **Bhang**: A hallucinogen derived from the leaves of *Cannabis sativa*, not an opiate. - **Charrus**: Another product from the cannabis plant, also not an opiate. - **Nicotine**: A stimulant found in tobacco, not an opiate. 5. **Correct Answer**: Among the options provided, **Heroin** is the only drug that qualifies as an opiate narcotic. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **Heroin**. ---
