Solution

The correct option is A LSD
LSD (Lysergic acid diethylamide) are powerful hallucinogens. They are obtained from the sclerotia of ergot fungus, Claviceps purpurea, present on rye plant. They are natural hallucinogens and change mood, behaviour and thoughts. They mimic the chemical messenger serotonin in brain. They cause powerful hallucinations and cause pleasant or unpleasant sensations in the body. They effect cerebrum and sense organs and produce euphoria (excitement).
So, the correct answer is 'LSD'.
