Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (D)

The correct options are
A Cocaine inhibit the reuptake of neurotransmitter dopamine.
B Caffeine increases the release of dopamine and increases alertness, energy and ability to concentrate.
D Dopamine control brain's reward and pleasure centres.

The statement is wrong as Prostaglandins are produced during pain and inflammation. Painkillers prevents the production of prostaglandins and hence, relieve pain.
