Asafoetida comes under
Answer: D
Asafoetida comes under gum-resin.
Asafoetida (hing) is the dried exudate obtained by cutting the roots and rhizomes of Ferula species, especially Ferula assa-foetida. It is a mixture of resin, gum and volatile oil, which is why it is classed as a gum-resin (strictly an oleo-gum-resin).
A pure gum dissolves or swells in water and has no resin, and an essential oil is a volatile oil obtained by distillation; asafoetida contains both kinds of material but is neither alone. Turpentine is the oil distilled from pine resin.
