correct answers.

a. binge drinking is not really dangerous.

b. drugs help you make friends and relax.

c. sharing iv needles leads to blood - borne illnesses such as
hepatitis b.

d. emphysema is most often caused by tobacco use.

Explanation:

A PSA (Public Service Announcement) about drugs/health risks should have accurate, health - promoting information.

• Option A: Binge drinking is dangerous (e.g., alcohol poisoning, organ damage), so this is misinformation and not in a PSA.
• Option B: Drugs do not help make friends in a healthy way and have many negative effects, so this is misinformation.
• Option C: Sharing IV needles can transmit blood - borne illnesses like hepatitis B (and HIV), which is a factual health risk, so this would be in a PSA.
• Option D: Emphysema is commonly caused by tobacco use (due to damage to lung tissue), so this is a factual health - related statement for a PSA.

Answer:

C. Sharing IV needles leads to blood - borne illnesses such as hepatitis B.
D. Emphysema is most often caused by tobacco use.
