The correct option is A Sedatives, tranquilizers and stimulants
Psychotic drugs cause psychosis in which thoughts and emotions of a person are affected to such an extent that contact is lost with reality. The people interpret the things around them in a different way. These drugs act on brain and are also called as mood altering drugs. Such drugs include sedatives, tranquilizers and stimulants.
Sedatives are CNS (Central nervous system) depressants and reduce pain and excitement. Tranquilizers also act on CNS and have a calming effect and reduce anxiety. Stimulants are the drugs that stimulate nervous system and cause excitement.
