Solution

The correct option is C Aspirin
Heroin, Morphine and Codeine are all (potential) opiad drugs which interfere with the working of the central nervous system and hence can be habit-forming.

Aspirin is an analgesic used to relieve minor aches and pains, as an antipyretic to reduce fever.

Hence, option B is correct.
