Answer:

C. Their physical functioning will be reduced if they are deprived of that substance.

Step-by-step explanation:

A person is considered addicted when he or she abuses chemicals, intoxicating the body. The individual loses control in activities that bring personal harm. It becomes unskillful in various sectors of life, causing social, family, health and workplace conflicts. Addiction is established when the person cannot go without taking the substance, his body does not function properly and the person is totally dependent on the effects of the substance on his body. In other words, their physical functioning will be reduced if that person is deprived of that substance.
