    Compulsion is a feature of

    • Drug addiction

    • Drug habituation

    • Drug abuse

    • Drug overdose

    Correct Answer
    A. Drug addiction
    Explanation
    Compulsion is a feature of drug addiction because it refers to the strong and uncontrollable urge to use drugs, despite negative consequences. Drug addiction is characterized by a physical and psychological dependence on drugs, leading to compulsive drug-seeking behavior. This compulsion is driven by changes in the brain's reward system, which makes the individual prioritize drug use over other important aspects of life. Drug addiction is a chronic condition that requires treatment and support to overcome.

    • Contusion

    A. Contusion 
    Explanation
    A black eye is a common condition caused by a contusion, which is a type of injury where there is bleeding under the skin due to a direct blow or trauma to the eye area. This results in discoloration and swelling around the eye, giving it a black or bruised appearance. A laceration refers to a tear or cut in the skin, while an incised wound is a clean, straight cut. Neither of these terms accurately describe a black eye. Therefore, the correct answer is contusion.

    Explanation
    Rhinorrhea, yawning, piloerection, and prolonged sleeping are commonly observed symptoms during drug withdrawal.

    A. Drug habituation
    Explanation
    Psychological dependence refers to the emotional and mental reliance on a drug, where the individual feels a strong desire or craving for the substance. Drug habituation, on the other hand, is the process of becoming accustomed to the effects of a drug, leading to a decreased response over time. While drug addiction, drug dependence, and drug abuse can also involve psychological aspects, only drug habituation specifically refers to the decreased response to a drug. Therefore, psychological dependence is the only feature that is exclusively associated with drug habituation.
