Answer:

The answer is A. Alcohol poisoning.

Step-by-step explanation:

When large amounts of alcohol are consumed more quickly than the body can process and metabolize, alcohol poisoning occurs. It is also known as ethyl poisoning or alcohol poisoning. When blood alcohol levels increase, symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, speech disorders or loss of control of body movements may occur. In severe cases, alcohol poisoning causes coma and even death.
