The answer is the third one: Depressant analgesics that affect brain and bodily functions such as breathing and digestion.

Explanation for each option:

  • Hypnotic prescription drugs that have sedative, muscle relaxant properties that help treat anxiety or insomnia: This describes benzodiazepines, not opioids.
  • Over-the-counter pain relief medications used for treating headaches and body aches: This describes medications like acetaminophen or ibuprofen, not opioids.
  • Depressant analgesics that affect brain and bodily functions such as breathing and digestion: This correctly describes opioids, which are used to treat pain but can also depress bodily functions.
  • Stimulants used to treat respiratory problems and neurological disorders: This describes medications like amphetamines, not opioids.

Summary: Opioids are depressant analgesics that affect brain and bodily functions such as breathing and digestion.
