Solution

The correct option is C Analgesic, anthelmintic, anti inflammatory
The seeds of Datura are analgesic, anthelmintic and anti-inflammatory and as such, they are used in the treatment of stomach and intestinal pain that results from worm infestation, toothache, and fever from inflammation. There are three chemicals produced naturally by Datura plants: hyoscyamine, atropine, and scopolamine.
