Option B is a logical conclusion because it is based on a causal relationship between morphine overdose and novel contexts. It proposes a possible outcome based on this relationship, rather than drawing statistical inferences from a sample or making incorrect assumptions. The other options are either based on faulty assumptions (options A and D) or lack coherence (option C).
