Answer:

D. All of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

- Imprisonment

This could occurs depending on the type of substance that the deterrent was using and the role that the deterrant is playing in the distribution of drugs. On average, people who only use the drugs (did not distribute it) only punished for around 2/5 years in jail.

- Job Loss

Substance abuse tend to lead to deterioration in your brain function. This made you extremely inefficient in your job and it could alter your behavior. Companies tend to see this as liability and would fire you if they find out about your usage

- Risk of disease

A lot of disease are associated with substance abuse. In worst case scenario, it could lead to organs failures that can cause death. Things such as Infection could also occurs from unsafe needles that addicts use to take their drugs.
