The correct Answer is:
D
Opioids are the drugs, which bind to specific opioid receptors present in our central nervous system and gastrointestinal tract.

They slow down respiratory activity, cause constriction of pupil of eye, decrease glandular secretions, impair the digestion, produce nausea, vomiting and sterility.
