Correct Answer: Anaesthetic


Solution : The correct option is Anaesthetic.

In the mid-nineteenth century, chloroform was used as a general anaesthetic during surgical procedures, providing drowsiness and pain relief. However, due to major safety issues, such as the danger of overdose, toxicity, and deleterious effects on the central nervous system, liver, and cardiovascular system, its usage has reduced. As safer and more controlled anaesthetic chemicals, such as ether and subsequently halothane and isoflurane, were created, chloroform as an anaesthetic was gradually phased out.
