Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Section 14 allows the Government, by a general or special order and subject to conditions, to permit cannabis cultivation for industrial purposes of obtaining fibre or seed, or for horticultural purposes. Preparing a flavouring agent is not one of the purposes specified in that provision. The separate provision about flavouring agents concerns coca plants and coca leaves.
