Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III
(A) Addiction — this matches (II) Psychological attachment to effects such as euphoria and a temporary feeling of well-being. These pleasant effects drive a person to take drugs or alcohol even when they are not needed.
(B) Dependence — this matches (IV) Tendency of the body to show a withdrawal syndrome if the regular dose is abruptly discontinued. Here the body itself has come to rely on the drug.
(C) Withdrawal syndrome — this matches (I) Anxiety, shakiness, nausea and sweating. These unpleasant symptoms appear when the regular dose is stopped and may be relieved when use is resumed.
(D) Excessive doses of drugs — this matches (III) Coma and death due to respiratory failure, heart failure or cerebral hemorrhage. This is one of the immediate harmful effects of overdosing.
