B. 1851
C. 1906
D. 1951
c
Rationale: This act was passed in 1906—early in the 20th century, also known as the 1900s. Before 1906, drugs such as opium were freely advertised and sold to consumers with no control as to how much of the drug was purchased, ingested, resold, and so on. The other dates in this question are not correct; before 1906, there were no drug acts, and by 1951, many different acts had already taken effect.
