Correct answer: A — Store in the controlled drugs cabinet meeting safe custody requirements

Morphine is a Schedule 2 controlled drug and is subject to safe custody requirements. It should be stored in an appropriate locked CD cabinet. Stability and access convenience do not override legal storage requirements. Refrigeration is product-specific and not required for every controlled drug.
