B) Fruit (unripe)
C) Male part (dried)
D) Seeds
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
[b] Opium is a narcotic drug that is obtained from the unripe seed pods of the opium poppy (Papaver somniferum), a plant of the family Papaveraceae. Opium is obtained by slightly incising the seed capsules of the poppy after the plant's flower petals have fallen. The slit seed pods exude a milky latex that coagulates and changes colour, turning into a gum like brown mass upon exposure to air. This raw opium may be ground into a powder, sold as lumps, cakes, or bricks, or treated further to obtain such derivatives as morphine, codeine, and heroin. Opium and the drug obtained from it are called opiates.
