Sedative is a substance injected into the body to alleviate the pains.

Meanwhile Consolation is not a substance injected into the body to mitigate grief but it somewhat perform same function with the use of spoken word.

Sedative induces a painless state, whereas a narcotic induces a trance like state, therefore I think it should be option c, as we are talking about physical attributes not emotional.

grief: keen mental suffering or distress over affliction or loss; sharp sorrow; painful regret.

consolation : the act of consoling; comfort; solace.

Sedative relieves pain. But Narcotic creates trance not relieves trance. So answer will be B (100% correct).

I think option D also correct because ache means pain and extractions refer to the explanation of the pain.
