Show full solutionCorrect option: D
Step-by-step explanation
Let's examine each statement individually:
Statement I: Morphine is indeed a narcotic analgesic, which means it helps in relieving pain. However, the second part of the statement is incorrect because morphine can produce sleep or drowsiness as it is a central nervous system depressant.
Statement II: This statement is true. Morphine and its derivatives are obtained from the opium poppy (Papaver somniferum).
Therefore, the correct answer is Option D: Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
