Solution

The correct option is C Phencyclidine
Phencyclidine is also known as angel dust. It is a drug that has mind altering effects. It can cause hallucinations, distorted sight and perceptions of sound. It is also used as veterinary anaesthetic drug. So, it can be used for controlling a rogue elephant because it acts as a tranquilizer and has sedative-hypnotic effects. So, it has a calming and sleep producing effect.
So, the correct answer is 'Phencyclidine'.
