Solution

The correct option is D Antianxiety drug
  1. Anti-Anxiety drugs (minor tranquillizers) are used for anxiety and phobic conditions. Benzodiazepines are main anti-anxiety drugs.
  2. Opium, morphine, heroin, etc., are opiate narcotics, which suppress brain functions, relieve pain, whereas sedatives and tranquillizers depress brain activity and produce feelings of calmness, eg., barbiturates (sleeping pills), benzodiazepines (tranquillizers). So, the correct answer is option C.
