Answer: (A)

Solution

Among the four structures, morphine and codeine (the -methyl ether of morphine) are narcotic analgesics, while the benzodiazepine diazepam and serotonin act as tranquillisers. Since the two opioids relieve pain rather than calm, the only correct classification is that diazepam and serotonin are the tranquillisers.
