Ketamine and phencyclidine are classified as dissociative anesthetics. This classification is based on their ability to produce dissociative effects such as detachment from reality, out-of-body experiences, and an overall sense of disconnection from one's surroundings.

Therefore, option B is the best choice as it accurately describes both ketamine and phencyclidine.
