Explanation

Solution

Hint:- The major active compound present in these drugs is delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol or THC which inhibits the enzyme adenylyl cyclase that lowers the concentration of the second messenger cyclic AMP.

Complete Answer:-
Bhang is obtained from the leaves and male and female flowering shoots of Cannabis. These are taken orally as a component of drinks or food as pakora and tikkis. These are mild intoxicants and act slowly. These are not considered as health hazards.
Ganja and marijuana are solid resinous extract of dried, unfertilized female inflorescence with stem of hemp plant. It is usually smoked in cigarettes and pipes. These are also known as pot. Marijuana is a variant that interferes with the short term memory and lowers the levels of sex hormones in the body. It also interferes with the menstrual cycle and suppresses the immune system.
Charas is the most potent hemp product which is generally smoked with tobacco. It is called hashish in America and it may be chewed or drunk also.
So, Bhang, ganja, and charas are three drugs that are obtained from the dried leaves and flowers of hemp plants, Cannabis sativa. Another drug obtained from this plant is marijuana. When these drugs are taken, the pupils of the eyes dilate, blood sugar level and frequency of urination increases. These drugs are usually taken along with tobacco and also smoked.
So the correct answer is C. Cannabis sativa.

Note:- These drugs users develop an emotional addiction to the effects of these drugs but do not experience any physical addiction. Their effects vary with different individuals as some users become violent and bring danger to themselves and others.
