Solution
The correct option is D Hallucinogen
Consciousness is the state of a person's awareness or perception of something. This state of mind can be altered by using hallucinogens. Hallucinogens works by binding to the receptor of serotonin, a neurotransmitter which controls mood, perception, hunger, etc thereby serotonin losing its function of keeping the body in awareness. Some hallucinogens include PCP, LSD, peyote, psilocybin, etc.
A sedative is a drug that induces sleep and calmness and is used to reduce anxiety.
Stimulants are drugs that increase alertness and energy; sometimes called "uppers"
A depressant works just as a sedative. It is used as a tranquillizer. So, the correct answer is option D.
