This results in the intense euphoria and heightened motivation commonly associated with cocaine use.

    Correct Answer
    A. Respiratory failure, asphyxiation
    Explanation
    Heroin is a central nervous system depressant that can cause respiratory depression, leading to a decrease in breathing rate and depth. This can ultimately result in respiratory failure, where the body is unable to adequately supply oxygen to the tissues. Asphyxiation refers to a lack of oxygen due to impaired breathing or suffocation, which can occur as a result of respiratory failure. Therefore, heroin-related fatalities are most commonly due to respiratory failure, which can lead to asphyxiation.
