Answer:
The correct answer is Option B
Explanation:
- After Freud, the fictitious investigator Sherlock Holmes was the most well-known of all the Victorian intellectuals who took cocaine. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, his creator, was a physician who worked as an ophthalmologist for a while. He must have been well familiar with the drug's effects and may have taken it himself as a stimulant. Doyle's narrator, Dr. Watson, first mentions cocaine in The Sign of the Four, published in 1890. Holmes was supposedly injecting a 7 percent solution intravenously three times per day at the time.
- Dr. Watson Holmes is not a compulsive drug addict since he just injects cocaine on occasion, which was typical procedure in Victorian England. In moments of inactivity, Holmes believes that these substances stimulate his thoughts. The famous detective's cocaine habit is also detailed in the second Holmes novel, The Sign of Four (1890), which opens with a scene in which he injects himself with a 7% cocaine solution. Sherlock Holmes removed his bottle from the mantelpiece's corner and his hypodermic syringe from its immaculate morocco case.
- Sherlock Holmes enjoyed smoking for its purported mind-refreshing properties. He smoked cigars, cigarettes, and, of course, pipes. He sniffed tobacco from a gemstone snuff-box on occasion. In his apartment at 221B Baker Street, he stored his cigars in a scuttle or a slipper by the fireplace. Dr Watson also liked to smoke a pipe and the occasional cigar, but he never smoked cigarettes. When Holmes was in a reflective mood, he smoked a pipe. When he got upset, though, he smoked cigarettes and paced the drawing room. He generally smoked a cigar (ideally a Cuban cigar) after a dinner in a restaurant or while sipping brandy.
