You raise two good questions.
First, should we consider an addictive opioid a "habit-forming drug?" Well, since an opioid is a drug, and because something addictive is by definition habit-forming, it successfully fits the criterion of a "habit-forming drug."
But what about the word "most?" As you point out, just because "discontinuing the use of most habit-forming drugs causes emotional depression" doesn't necessarily mean that discontinuing the use of an addictive opioid will. Maybe addictive opioids are not part of the "most" club? So why is (C) correct?
Notice (C) isn't claiming that someone who discontinues the use of addictive opioid will DEFINITELY suffer from some emotional depression. Rather, it's claiming this person will most likely suffer from some emotional depression. And since most habit-forming drugs will cause some emotional depression when discontinued, (C) is supported by the passage.
I hope that helps!

W.R.T. C, what is opioid is not one of those 'most' habit-forming drugs? How can we conclusively assume it's true based on the premise.

Good question!
First of all, notice that there's a big difference between "the use of most habit-forming drugs" and "the use of THE most habit-forming drugs." The latter implies that we're talking about only the MOST addictive drugs, while the former implies that we're talking about the majority of ALL habit-forming drugs.
In other words, the passage is NOT saying that we should put the drugs in order from most addictive to least addictive and look at only the drugs at the top of the list. Instead, we should look at all habit-forming drugs, regardless of how addictive they are, and take the majority of that group -- and that might, for example, exclude some of the MOST addictive drugs and include some of the LEAST addictive drugs.
Also, notice that (C) says, "will most likely suffer from some emotional depression." This answer choice has some built-in wiggle room, and it's okay that we aren't 100% sure that this will happen. As long as we can safely conclude that this will most likely happen, then we're good with (C).
I hope that helps!
