Final answer:
The incorrect statement about resveratrol is that it is responsible for hangovers. Resveratrol is a polyphenol found in red wine and is not a flavonoid nor the cause of hangovers, which are due to ethanol and acetaldehyde. Option d.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement about resveratrol that is incorrect is: D) It is responsible for hangovers. Resveratrol is a phytochemical that belongs to a class of compounds known as polyphenols, not flavonoids, although both are antioxidants. It is naturally found in the skin of grapes, berries, peanuts, and therefore in red wine as well. However, it is not responsible for causing hangovers after consuming alcohol; hangovers are attributed to the effects of ethanol and its toxic byproduct, acetaldehyde not resveratrol which is generally considered to have potential health benefits.
It is commonly associated with red wine because it is found in the skins of red grapes, but it is also present in other foods like berries and peanuts. However, resveratrol is not responsible for hangovers, as hangovers are primarily caused by the effects of alcohol on the body.
