Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: In Biology textbooks (NCERT), chemical structures are provided for Morphine (Opioid) and Cannabinoid molecules.
Step 2: Cannabinoids are a group of chemicals that interact with cannabinoid receptors in the brain. They are naturally obtained from the inflorescences of the plant *Cannabis sativa*.
