The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Drug**: The drug in question is Aspirin. 2. **Understand the Options**: We have four classes of drugs to consider: - Antibiotics - Sedatives (or hypnotic drugs) - Antipyretics - Psychedelics 3. **Define Each Class of Drug**: - **Antibiotics**: These drugs are used to treat bacterial infections by inhibiting the growth of bacteria. - **Sedatives**: These drugs induce sleepiness or a state of euphoria and are also known as depressants. - **Antipyretics**: These drugs are used to lower body temperature during fever (pyrexia). - **Psychedelics**: These are hallucinogenic drugs that can alter perception, mood, and consciousness. 4. **Determine the Function of Aspirin**: Aspirin is primarily known for its antipyretic properties, meaning it is used to reduce fever. It is also used as an analgesic (pain reliever) and anti-inflammatory. 5. **Analyze Which Class Aspirin Cannot Belong To**: - **Antibiotics**: Aspirin does not treat bacterial infections, so it cannot be classified as an antibiotic. - **Sedatives**: Aspirin does not induce sleep or euphoria, so it cannot be classified as a sedative. - **Antipyretics**: Aspirin is indeed an antipyretic, so it belongs to this class. - **Psychedelics**: Aspirin does not create hallucinogenic effects, so it cannot be classified as a psychedelic. 6. **Conclusion**: The question asks which class Aspirin cannot be. Since it is an antipyretic, the answer is that it cannot be classified as a psychedelic. **Final Answer**: Aspirin cannot be a psychedelic. ---
