A person faced with such a situation chooses drugs for its euphoric or mind-altering ______ to escape from the immediate situation.

Correct option is B

· Correct answer: (b) Effect
· Explanation:
· "Effect" refers to the result or impact of an action.
· The sentence describes how drugs produce a "euphoric effect" (a feeling of extreme happiness or altered state of mind).
· Meanings of other options:
· Cause – The reason something happens (incorrect, as the sentence refers to the result, not the reason).
· Affect – A verb meaning "to influence" (incorrect, as we need a noun).
· Result – The outcome (similar but not commonly used in this phrase).
