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.

Neither of these terms accurately describe a black eye. Therefore, the correct answer is contusion.

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.

Therefore, psychological dependence is the only feature that is exclusively associated with drug habituation.
