B Correct answer
Explanation

Dr. House substitutes Vicodin (hydrocodone/acetaminophen) with Methadone in Season 5 when his pain becomes unmanageable. Methadone is a synthetic opioid used for pain management and opioid addiction treatment; it can produce heroin-like euphoria and respiratory depression at high doses. Oxycodone and Morphine are other opioids but were not his substitution choice, while 'Methosceptine' is not a real drug.
