The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze each of the four statements provided and determine which ones are correct. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Statement I:** - Statement: "Heroin, commonly called Smack, is obtained by acetylation of morphine." - Analysis: This statement is correct. Heroin is indeed synthesized from morphine through a chemical process known as acetylation. 2. **Analyze Statement II:** - Statement: "Cocaine is obtained from the latex of Papaver somniferum." - Analysis: This statement is incorrect. Cocaine is derived from the leaves of the Erythroxylum coca plant, not from Papaver somniferum, which is the source of opiates like morphine. 3. **Analyze Statement III:** - Statement: "Marijuana interferes with the transmission of dopamine." - Analysis: This statement is also incorrect. While marijuana (cannabis) affects various neurotransmitters, it does not specifically interfere with dopamine transmission in a straightforward manner. 4. **Analyze Statement IV:** - Statement: "Morphine is an effective sedative and pain killer." - Analysis: This statement is correct. Morphine is widely recognized for its effectiveness as a pain reliever and is used in medical settings for pain management. ### Conclusion: - The correct statements are I and IV. - Therefore, the option that contains both correct statements is the one that includes statements I and IV. ### Final Answer: The option that has both correct statements is **Option 2** (which includes statements I and IV).
