Solution

The correct option is D He will become addicted to drugs.
Drug abuse often begins with experimenting, to see how much they really work. The mindset of such people generally is that they can control their addiction. But the truth is, addiction cannot be controlled. Often, when people start taking intoxicant drugs, they cannot stop. Even when they do, withdrawal symptoms are a high cost to pay, so they may relapse.

Therefore, if he continues doing drugs, Rakesh is going to get addicted to them uncontrollably and eventually have some serious health issues.
