    • Optium

    • Chamomile

    • Dandelion

    Correct Answer
    A. Catnip
    Explanation
    Catnip is a plant that is known to have a psychoactive effect on cats. When cats come into contact with catnip, they often exhibit behaviors such as rolling, rubbing, and jumping, which are indicative of being "high" or experiencing a euphoric state. This is due to the presence of a compound called nepetalactone in catnip, which stimulates certain receptors in the cat's brain. Therefore, catnip is used for getting cats high.
