Answer»

Right answer is (a) Cocaine

The BEST I can explain: Natural anesthetic is cocaine. Due to its uses in DRUG abuse, this is not used anymore in practices. Synthetic nitrogenous local anesthetics are procaine, BENZOCAINE, lignocaine, cinchocaine, bucricaine. Synthetic non-nitrogenous will be BENZYL alcohol and propanediol. Clove oil, PHENOL, chlorpromazine can also be used as a local anesthetic.
