The correct answer is Option (2) → 1-d, 2-c, 3-b, 4-a
(1) Heroin — this matches (d) Papaver somniferum. Heroin (smack) is diacetylmorphine, made by acetylation of morphine, which is extracted from the latex of the poppy plant.
(2) Cocaine — this matches (c) Erythroxylum coca. Cocaine, the coca alkaloid, comes from the coca plant, native to South America.
