B is the correct answer. While excessive amounts of alcohol can indeed cause breathing to slow, become irregular, or stop altogether, this is not an effect of alcohol on the digestive system - instead, it is an effect on the respiratory system. Increased production of stomach acid, inflamation of the liver and increased work for the kidneys, on the other hand, are effects of alcohol on the digestive system.
