The correct answer is Botulism exotoxin.

Explanation:

An exotoxin is a protein secreted extracellularly by a microorganism such as bacteria, protozoa and some fungi and algae. Exotoxins are very potent and can cause great damage to the host by destroying their cells or disrupting normal cell metabolism; they can be secreted, or, like some endotoxins, they can be released during cell lysis.

Most exotoxins can be destroyed by heat. They can exert effects locally or produce systemic effects. Among the best known are the botulinum toxin produced by Clostridium botulinum, the exotoxin of Corynebacterium diphtheriae that occurs in diphtheria disease.

Exotoxins are sensitive to antibodies produced by the immune system, but many are so toxic that they can be fatal to the host before the immune system has a chance to produce defenses against them.

Via: "if you are found to be supplying or dealing drugs, the punishment is likely to be tough. supplying drugs doesn’t just apply to dealers. if police suspect that you intend to share drugs with your friends, this is still considered to be supplying.

being suspected of supplying drugs means you are much more likely to be charged. the amount of drugs found on you, and whether you have a criminal record, will be taken into account when a punishment is being decided.

decisions to prosecute are taken by the public prosecution service. the maximum sentences for intent to supply drugs are:

- up to life in prison or an unlimited fine (or both) for a class a drug- up to 14 years in prison or an unlimited fine (or both) for a class b or class c drug."sorry if this was a school question, you didnt supply options so i assumed it was a personal question, which if it is, reconsider selling or having possesion of any drugs at all. i wish you the best!
