Answer : Option B) Alcohol is a depressant, which means it speeds up the nervous system.

Explanation : Alcohol is a nervous system depressant which slows down the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system activities. It is also an active brain drug and a cellular toxin before it is metabolized by the body enzymes.

Alcohol is produced by fermenting grain, fruits or vegetables for several months or years. When packed in cans or bottles, the label which shows the alcohol content is expressed as alcohol percent.
