Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Alcohol can damage the liver, initially by increasing the synthesis of fatty acids, which can interfere with liver function. If consumption of high levels of alcohol continues, eventually this will lead to fibrosis of the liver, followed eventually by cirrhosis of the liver. Additionally, chronic alcohol abuse leads to malnourishment, which can lead to a decrease in B vitamins, such as thiamin as seen in Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, or vitamin B6, which leads to a decreased production of red blood cells.
