• B. Stimulant
• C. Narcotic

Answer 1

The correct option is D Hallucinogen

Marijuana is a hallucinogenic drug obtained from dried flowering plants of Cannabis sativa (Hemp). Hallucinogenic drugs are also called psychedelic drugs. They change thoughts, mood, behaviour and perceptions. They produce a dream like state and cause loss of contact without any true sensory stimulus. They cause hallucinations and produce false imaginations. They affect cerebrum and sense organs which results in feeling of euphoria (excitement).

So, the correct answer is 'Hallucinogen'.
