Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. psychological
Vague and incorrect term. Withdrawal involves both physical and psychological symptoms.

B. abstinence
Abstinence means refraining from use, not the symptoms that follow.

C. physiological
Not specific. The term doesn’t capture the clinical syndrome of alcohol cessation.

D. alcohol withdrawal
Alcohol withdrawal syndrome includes symptoms like tremors, agitation, hallucinations, and seizures, and can be life-threatening.

A. no regular use B. exceed moderate levels; notice a tolerance effect C. occasional social use D. continuous use; unable to function without the substance

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. no regular use
This fits more with the early or experimental stage, not middle.

B. exceed moderate levels; notice a tolerance effect
The middle stage is defined by increased consumption, developing tolerance, and the beginning of physical or psychosocial impacts.

C. occasional social use
Again, this is more consistent with the early stage of substance use.

D. continuous use; unable to function without the substance
This describes the late stage, where the person is likely physically dependent and showing serious impairment.
