The answer is the first one (a): Opioids.

Explanation for each option:

a) Opioids: This is the correct answer. Morphine, codeine, and heroin are all classified as opioids. Opioids are a class of drugs that include both natural and synthetic substances that bind to opioid receptors in the brain to produce pain-relieving and sleep-inducing effects.

b) Stimulants: This is incorrect. Stimulants are drugs that increase activity in the brain, leading to increased alertness, attention, and energy. Examples include caffeine, nicotine, and amphetamines, which are not related to morphine, codeine, or heroin.

c) Club drugs: This is incorrect. Club drugs refer to a variety of drugs often used at nightclubs, bars, and parties, such as MDMA (ecstasy), ketamine, and GHB. These drugs are not primarily known for their pain-relieving properties.

d) Designer drugs: This is incorrect. Designer drugs are synthetic substances created to mimic the effects of existing drugs, often to circumvent drug laws. While some designer drugs may have opioid-like effects, morphine, codeine, and heroin are not classified as designer drugs.

e) Anxiolytics: This is incorrect. Anxiolytics are drugs used to reduce anxiety. They include medications like benzodiazepines, which are not related to the opioid class of drugs.

In summary, morphine, codeine, and heroin are opioids, known for their pain-relieving and sleep-inducing properties.
