Answer:

Option B, False

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the National Transportation Safety Board(NTSB), if the alcohol concentration in body of an individual reaches a concentration level of 0.08, then the person is not allowed to drive. It is so because as per medical studies, 0.08 concentration level causes impairment of eye movement, visual perception and reaction time. 0.08 is the legal limit

However, the lower level of alcohol concentration at which the judgement and reasoning power gets impaired is 0.05 instead of 0.03.

Hence the given statement is false.

False. .08% Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) is the legal limit for intoxication in some states. However, .10% BAC is the legal limit for most states. Additionally, a BAC of .04%, instead of .03%, marks the beginning of impairment, and can often result to DUI convictions.
