Explanation

A. PCP
PCP is a dissociative anesthetic that causes hallucinations, aggression, and numbness, not typically euphoria or alertness. It is usually smoked, snorted, or taken orally, but is not a white powder by standard appearance.

B. Opioid
Opioids are generally not white crystalline powders and are associated with euphoria followed by sedation, not heightened alertness.

Cocaine is a white, crystalline stimulant powder most often snorted, producing intense euphoria, energy, and alertness.

Incorrect, because cocaine is the correct answer.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. intoxication
Intoxication refers to the acute effects of a substance on the body, not the repeated return to a behavior.

C. recidivism
Recidivism refers to relapse-the recurrence of an undesirable behavior (like substance use) after a period of improvement.
