Answer:

The correct option is;

A. Resistance to physical injury

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer we question, we analyze each of the options as follows;

Alcohol is made up of the following compounds in their respective proportions;

CₙH₂ₙ₊₁OH

The alcohol found in alcoholic drinks consists of recreational ethanol which is a depressant that reduces anxiety and improves social behavior in low doses

The effects include

1) Reduced ability or loss of the ability to coordinate ones body or muscles

2) Memory loss such as retrieval, retention, acknowledgement, which are part of short term memory loss

3) Inability to perform crucial judgement

Hence, since recreational alcohol primarily influences the proper functioning of the brain, it increases the risk of physical injury of a person under the influence of alcohol as the brain does not provide resistance from physical injury.
