Solution

The correct option is A LSD
LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) is colourless, odourless and tasteless hallucinogenic drug used in the form of tablets, capsules or in liquid. LSD is one of the most potent mood-changing chemicals and is derived from the extremely poisonous ergot fungus, a mold which grows on rye and other grains. Its effects are unpredictable. A tiny amount can produce 12 hours or more of effects. It affects the nervous system as they interfere the brain's serotonin receptor and inhibit the neurotransmitter stimulation. Therefore people experiences severe, terrifying thoughts and feelings, fear of losing control, fear of insanity and death and feelings of despair while using LSD.
So, the correct answer is 'LSD'
