Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
With continued alcohol intake there is a destruction of hepatocytes and fibroblasts and stimulation of collagen protein formation.
Due to continuing collagen deposition and accumulation of fat, the liver increases in size, acquires a modular appearance and becomes hard leading to cirrhosis.
