Answer:

(2) Poppy

Explanation:

Morphine

Morphine is a strong opiate found naturally in opium, the dark brown resin of the poppy (Papaver somniferum). It is primarily used as a pain reliever, but is also often used recreationally or to make other illegal opioids. Several methods are used to administer morphine: orally; under the tongue; by breathing; injection into a muscle; by injection under the skin; intravenously; injection into the space around the spinal cord; transdermal; or rectally.

(2) Poppy

Opium poppy remains the only commercial source for morphine, codeine and semi-synthetic analgesics, like oxycodone which is derived from thebaine.

So, option (2) is correct.

(1) Cinchona

Quinine is an alkaloid derived from the bark of the South American cinchona tree. It has been used as an antimalarial for over 350 years.

So, option (1) is incorrect.

(3) Eucalyptus

So, option (3) is incorrect.

(4) None

Opium poppy is the only source of morphine and it is mention in the option (2).
