• requires staying at a rehab clinic.
• is something a person should be ashamed about.
• takes away our ability to make informed decisions about our own bodies.
• is easy to get through once you know how to do it.

Explanation:

• "requires staying at a rehab clinic": Not all addictions require inpatient rehab; some can be treated with outpatient programs, so this is incorrect.
• "is something a person should be ashamed about": Addiction is a medical condition, and shame is counterproductive to recovery, so this is wrong.
• "takes away our ability to make informed decisions about our own bodies": Addiction affects the brain's reward system and decision - making processes, making it hard for individuals to make rational choices about their bodies, this is correct.
• "is easy to get through once you know how to do it": Addiction recovery is a long and challenging process, and it's not easy, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

C. takes away our ability to make informed decisions about our own bodies.
