Cannabis sativa is an annual herbaceous plant in the Cannabis genus, a species of the Cannabaceae family. People have cultivated Cannabis sativa throughout recorded history as a source of industrial fibre, seed oil, food, recreation, religious and spiritual moods and medicine. It's seeds are chiefly used to make hempseed oil which can be used for cooking, lamps, lacquers or paints. They can also be used as caged-bird feed, as they provide a moderate source of nutrients for most birds. The flowers contain psychoactive chemical compounds, known as cannabinoids that are consumed for recreational, medicinal, and spiritual purposes. When so used, preparations of flowers (marijuana) and leaves and preparations derived from resinous extract (e.g., hashish) are consumed by smoking, vaporizing and oral ingestion.
Historically, tinctures, teas and ointments have also been common preparations. In traditional medicine of India, in particular, Cannabis sativa has been used as hallucinogenic, hypnotic, sedative, analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent. Bhang, ganja and hashish (charas) are obtained from Cannabis sativa.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
