This question was posed to me in a job interview.

The above asked question is from Human Health and Disease in division Human Health and Disease of Biology – Class 12

Answer 1

Correct choice is (d) Does not affect the individual

The best I can explain: There is often a mix up of drugs with alcohol and other substances, For e.g., Insulin, aspirin. So the combination of drugs may enhance sedation, cause complication (e.g., hypertension) or reduce the effect of medicine.
