Solution

The correct option is B Diphenylhydramine
Diphenylhydramine is an antihistamine and not a barbituric acid derivative. Therefore, it is not a constituent of sleeping pills. Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine used to treat sneezing, runny nose, itching, hives and other symptoms of allergies and the common cold.
