Answer
The correct answer is:**an addicted user**### Explanation:An **addicted user** is someone who craves a drug and uses it compulsively, often developing a pattern of frequent use despite potential negative consequences. Addiction involves both psychological and physical dependence on the substance, leading to an inability to control usage.- **Habituated user** refers to someone who may have developed a habit but not necessarily an addiction.- **Social/recreational user** describes someone who uses drugs occasionally in social settings without dependency.- **Experimental user** refers to someone trying a drug out of curiosity without regular or compulsive use.
