C. Stimulant        
D. Hallucinogen

Answer 1

Hint: Drugs are substances or chemicals that change the way our bodies work. Some drugs are medicines that help individuals when physicians prescribe them. Many have no medical use or advantages. Substances like marijuana, alcohol and nicotine also are considered drugs.

Complete step-by-step answer:

 Hallucinogens are a kind of drug that changes an individual's perception of reality. Also called 'psychedelic drugs', hallucinogens make an individual feel, see, and hear things that aren't real, or mislead their interpretation of what happens around them. Some are fast acting; others need more time to take effect. Common classic hallucinogens contain the following LSD (D-lysergic acid diethylamide), DMT, Peyote, and so on. These bring considerable changes in feelings, ideas, and consciousness. These are psychoactive drugs.
Stimulant drugs are a class of psychoactive drug that offers temporary improvements in mental or physical functioning, thus elevating mood and rising feelings of happiness, energy, and vigilance. Stimulants are frequently called uppers.
Sedatives are a kind of prescription medication that decelerates brain function. They’re usually used to feeling more comfortable. Doctors generally prescribe sedatives to treat conditions such as sleep disorders and anxiety. They also use them like general anaesthetics.
Barbiturates are synthetic substances made as pharmaceutical products. They function as depressants of the central nervous system. The parent compound barbituric acid was initially synthesised in 1864 but the first pharmacologically active agent, barbital, was not made until 1881 and introduced to medication in 1904.

Therefore the correct answer is Option D.
Note: Hallucinogens are illegal drugs that change an individual's perception of reality. These drugs are either artificially produced or derived from plants. Individuals who regularly use hallucinogens may encounter 'flashbacks', which can happen days, months, weeks, or even years after taking the hallucinogen.
