Solution

The correct option is B Amphetamine
Pep pills are the pills containing a stimulant drug. These pills contain amphetamines. Amphetamines are synthetic stimulants and are structurally similar to adrenaline. Adrenaline is a neurotransmitter secreted from adrenal medulla in response to stress conditions in the body. They are stimulants of CNS (central nervous system). They speed up the messages transmitted between brain and body. They make a person more energetic and awake but overdoses can have side effects too.
So, the correct answer is 'Amphetamine'.
